It's Called Dead Week For A Reason
Nov. 29th, 2010 07:25 pmSome Highlights From This Week (or why the Midget may be scarce around these parts for a while)
1. Finaaaaaals. I have been having this ongoing thing with my Religions prof where she promises to email me things and then doesn't because she's super flaky and then I freak out because without the resources she's supposed to send me I can't do my project. Last night she sent me an email telling me she thought I should completely revamp the focus of my project (from an emphasis on book stuff/techical details to an emphasis on music clips and subjective experience). Doable, and not outside of the range of what I'd planned, but OMG THIS PROJECT IS DUE ON THURSDAY. I am spending the rest of tonight watching music clips on youtube, I guess. I also have a ten-page paper draft for my poetry class due on Friday. Luckily, since it's a draft it can really suck. Unluckily, it's on due on Friday. Those of you who've been playing the game for awhile may remember this poetry class as the one that caused me to have a nervous breakdown sophomore year and get put on academic probation. I'm doing much better this time around (As on everything except the second paper, which was a respectable B+), but still, stressing out.
2. My grandfather is back in the hospital. Again. He had a coughing fit in the middle of the night on Thanksgiving and cracked some ribs, and when they went to x-ray the ribs they found a bunch more compression fractures along his ribcage and spine. He really did a number on himself. But right now he's...as well as can be expected, I guess? They are preparing to put a feeding tube in because he can't swallow, but today he was able to get up and walk around for the first time. He'll probably be there for at least a few more days, maybe longer, and then they want to get him set up with physical therapy. In any case, I'm glad I'll be home next week.
3. In a desperate attempt to avoid thinking about either 1 or 2, my brain has decided that it needs to revisit my high school obsession with Kingdom Hearts. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW, YOU GUYS. I've been completely out of KH fandom for years (and was never all that into it in the first place), and all of a sudden my brain is like WE MUST READ ALL THE AXEL/ROXAS FIC IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW DO IT DO IT DOOOOO IT. It's really baffling. I've also been revisiting some of the sunnier corners of Naruto fandom, which is how I ended up staying up until 4am last night. Clearly I have serious problems.
On the bright side, EL CLASICO WHAT. I love my beautiful, beautiful Barça boys more than I could possibly convey. (and I love Sergio Ramos too, even when his temper gets the better of him)
