My Not-So-Much Post

Speedy update:
I survived! I lived! I graduated!
I officially have a B.S in pre-law!
I slept a full night of TEN!!! HOURS for the first time in ages! (and I SO needed it)
My Soldier and I have actually eaten dinner together. in the same room. at the same table. at the same time. And date night- woohoo! I forgot what cuddling and movies were like.
The past two weeks has been crazy! And can I be honest??- I just haven't felt like picking up the laptop because for the first time in four long years I haven't had to write anything!
But I miss you all, so tomorrow I promise for an actual post to catch you up with everything!

Explaination of my absence

..."Lets take a break from studying to go study"...

'nough said.

Wikipedia: "The main symptoms of senioritis include procrastination, lack of motivation, a drop in academic performance, and "coasting", which is the act of going through classes with very little concentration or application of intent along with truancy."

Lost in Cyberspace

So, as a first-day-back special treat, I was assigned a literature paper. (my very LEAST favorite subject. Ok- well at least this class. I usually love it) Anyways... my topic is the novel, "Madame Bovary" by Flaubert and the role of female rebellion within the book. Personally, I really didn't enjoy the book, but thats the topic so I'm dealing. I started doing research for critique articles and journals, but came up with nada. I've tried my school library, online libraries, Google Scholar etc. Nothing. Any one know of literary resource finders? What have you used for sources in the past?

and the chains return...

Back to school.

Not happy about it.

tuesdays. worst day ever. literature. yuck.

8 weeks. May 15th. freedom.

8.painful.long.weeks.

Senioritis anyone?

'Tis the seal Despair...

I officially survived the first week of my last semester of class. Well, kinda. Can anyone spell S.E.N.I.O.R.I.T.I.S??? I was thinking my semester wouldn't be all that bad, 3 in-class courses and 2 directed studies- I can handle that. No problem, I even have a favorite prof in one class. But I should have known it wasn't that easy... I have spent the entire week running all over campuses, pleading with every 'Dean of..', 'Director of...', 'Overseer of...' that I can find. Why, you ask? Because I am one measly class away from completing a corresponding minor along with my degree in pre-law. ONE. 3 credit hours. To make it all the more frustrating every person I speak with tells me something different. I have more than enough credits to graduate. with a minor. with a concentration if they offered one. But I don't have that class. Apparently to receive a minor in English you have to obtained 18 credit hours beyond entry level English courses...no problem, I already have 21. You also need at least 3 advanced writing courses...no problem, I have 5. But what no one told me in the last 4 years of drowning in extra classes, is that I must have 2 literature courses- advanced literature. PROBLEM. I only have 1 entry level lit class. So now, I either have to pick up another lit course this semester in addition to my schedule or not receive a minor by 3 credits. Make sense to any of you? I am at a loss. English minor in writing...who cares if I can decifer a poem by Whitman or Dickenson if I am going to be writing legal briefs? To make matters all the more amusing, the only available lit course that fits into my schedule is taught by a professor I may or may not have previously vowed to avoid at all costs. But I lived through her previous class...and maybe this time she won't go to lengths of individual humiliation like last time. Maybe? So 'tis the seal despair', as Dickenson would say, that for 3 hours *wednesday night I will endure the pain just to get my silly minor....
