I am finished. My essays are finish. I'm not convinced some of them aren't nonsense, and some of them are too long, but they made us count footnotes without extending the wordcount accordingly, and I'm going to complain, and they weren't that much too long and where they were I lied. But they are finished and I can pretend they all got 70s until I get the marks.

I have not done much sleeping lately. Though plenty of watching Jekesta's songvids and listening to Supertramp.

Hmm. I finished House of Leaves. I am love on it. I love it even more and even less from doing an essay on it. I join the community yes. ( This is not for you )

I have to start revising for exams tomorrow, and want to have a night of fun, but a night of sleep will probably be more useful. I had to do a radio thing after handing in my essays. Which I spent all day editing. The essays, not the radio piece. I don't care about the radio piece, I was forced into it and someone else wrote it. I made a hundred mistakes. I still don't care. I go check flist and buy icecream now. Yes.

Finished my Gothic essay. And only 1,300 over the word limit! I'm getting better at this restraint malarkey. I'm not sure much of it makes sense, and I know my conclusion doesn't, and I'm not sure I've said anything new or interesting, but it is done, and all the references are done, and it just needs editing, and it is DONE. My stomach's sort of trembling and I feel like I'm going to have a brain aneurysm. Yes.

Now I can start planning for the next two, which should be interesting if, yes, more work. Have started researching the fairytale one, and it turns out Callisto is actually Artemis and it was the Patriarchy what dun it. Who knew? And the House of Leaves one. Deadline is January 12th - fingers crossed!

Anyway. Am going back to Nottingham tomorrow, after putting it off long enough in favour of warmth and being cooked for. And not being in a house alone with House of Leaves. Shame, yes. But I feel it is time. And I really need to return the book due back on the 22nd. Of December. Whoops. But I will be sadly without the internet after tomorrow morning, and probably will need to not do the LJ/fandom thing for a bit. Which doesn't mean I won't. But still. Don't do anything too interesting?

Thought I'd better post this, finally, while I have the chance - a picture of our sand-writing from Connotations, since photobucket won't let me upload all four. I think you can pretty much make out the words ;) Anyway:

( Cut for huge )

I have had a very good time these past few weeks, here with y'all, and Christmas and such. I can't tell whether it would have been better or worse without the impending threat of essays (stress! Danger! The thrill of defiance!). I feel the next few weeks will not be the relaxed time they otherwise might have been, but ah well. I don't regret it. Much ;)

I was going to do a year's fic review, but apparently not. Randomly, because there's no way I'll be writing anything fandomish for a while, if I was to offer to write anything in the next few weeks/coming year, what would you want to see? We'll call it a semi-meme. Just for interest's sake ::looks interested::

Anywho. Goodnight ::blows kisses::
