I’ve written 1.5 papers today, and cruised through some other things I needed to do. It’s becoming problematic, because I slept through the first 15 minutes of class today and definitely missed some announcements—what we all could use would be one giant checklist of what the profs need before we all leave Europe. Technically, we just need to get it all in before grades are due on the 20th, but it’s so weird to have things due to people who live next door, who never seem to penalize for lateness (to the point where some girls are getting really pissed.) Whatever, I’m just getting it in on time because I need to practice not procrastinating, and so far it’s worked just fabulously. I’m just hoping the organization can hold water this last hectic week, for profs and students alike. The last thing we need is for them to lose our work.
We got to watch my favorite version of Persuasion, finally, except that Penny hates it and was criticizing it the whole time. But I did my best to enjoy it through her tactless comments and was excited for the last day of class to be over. I sure love Persuasion; the idea that one bad choice based on someone else's judgment can ruin your life makes this novel neither comical nor entirely fictional; if anything, it feels autobiographical. I sure hope Jane could still have a happy life, even though a man was not necessarily in her life.
We could sure use a fire in this building—it’s so cold. I’ll be glad to go home and feel my fingers and toes again. There’s a yellow pashmina I’ve had my eye on down on Queensway; the real question is whether going outside into the Arctic is worth it. Anyways—Off to bed here shortly. I had a heroic nap today and was not tempted in the least to go outside. I hope to get through the rest of this homework before spam hits the fan, which it will. But it’s only twelve credits! What’s the worst that could happen?
