I've basically taken over the computer lab. I have piles upon piles of books scattered all over the floor, I am jamming to the fantastically emo music pouring out of my ipod, and, in reality, accomplishing very little. Considering I've written two out of my four papers in the course of about four days though, I'm not really that worried. I've just decided to be lazy today. I actually do have about five hundred words of my next essay written already, so once I throw a few citations into it I'll probably be finished my quota of 800 words for the day. It's a beautiful way to write essays.
After I finished my Kundera paper yesterday, I decided to go to uni to have lunch with Tim, and then went shopping because I really didn't feel like dealing with people. I am REALLY excited about my 21st tomorrow night- hopefully we won't get kicked out of the pubs for being dressed up in Halloween costumes. I'm going as a witch!! I also hope that I'm not still sick tomorrow either. I'm kind of bummed that I missed Halloween in the States, although I did go trick or treating around Whitley last night dressed in a giant pumpkin suit with a witch's hat on. Hopefully I'll have a picture or two to share at some point. I got tons of candy, fruit, juice boxes, and random things. As a result, I was hyper and sugar high until about 1 in the morning, which resulted in my trying to make origami animals and drawing pictures. I didn't actually get to sleep until about two, which means I'm moderately delirious today.
I'm very much ready to go traveling, although I realized that I actually am really going to miss Whitley. I was writing letters to people in my head while trying to fall asleep and had a spontaneous crying session. It's been really good here, and it's somewhat sad to think that I will likely not actually see these people again. Some of them have become really good friends too.
On a random note, how emo is Sufjan Stevens? It's almost Conor emo, except Sufjan's tears are less folksy than Conor's. I seriously need to be writing my paper right now.
I can't wait to go home so that I can buy books again. I want to buy more Salman Rushdie and Jeffrey Eugenides other book. I would also like Jonathan Safran Foer to get on the band wagon and put another book out!! I'm so excited for English classes at Bryn Mawr again to- my Art/Pornography/Blasphemy/Propaganda class has been such a disappointment. I wrote a brilliant essay and I know that it won't matter because my tutor is an idiot and will mark me poorly regardless.
I've really enjoyed keeping up this blog, even if I don't actually say anything that relevant in it. I keep getting told by people at Whitley how well written it is etc. It's kind of nice to know that people actually enjoy reading my ramblings. Maybe I'll just become a writer and forget this whole law school/grad school/having financial security idea. I can just write pretentious academic essays for the rest of my life! And watch movies!! Being old is terrible- you actually have think about these things now for real. That may be the primary reason for my not wanting to go home yet: when I go home I'll have to be responsible and goal-oriented again. I don't want to think about my future when I'm having so much fun living in the present!!
