...and SCENE!

i did it. it is done! edited and submitted my final paper for the semester last night. WOOT.

it's amazing how de-stressing having everything done can be. now it's just on to the presents, packing, cleaning, baking....SIGH

LUNA-cy and papering

it's a lunar eclipse tonight AND a full moon AND winter solstice! whee!

i'm just 4 pages away from officially closing my fall semester this year. most likely will finish tomorrow (if/when my proofreader gets back to me).  then i get a WHOLE MONTH of reading what i want. when i want to. how am i ever to decided??? i have at least 2 books as well as a list of authors lined up--all within the general category of asia-pacific: like miyuki miyabe and kobo abe, kim young-ha, duong thu huong, etc.

any suggestions of SPECIFICALLY sci-fi/fantasy novels i should read???? since apparently, i am finding it too challenging to think outside my field...not that it's necessarily a bad thing just, you know...odd. for me.

see? told ya so....

oh, the tail-end of the semester. a mixed bag of feelings and emotions...and feeling like you're on the verge of an emotional breakdown.  finding new and creative ways to procrastinate. all my in class presentations are done. one out of 2 papers are done. the other has a snazzy title (OUTspoken: A Thematic Literary Analysis of Murakami Ryu's Piercing and Kirino Natsuo's Out) 

have i mentioned how much i *love* coming up with snazzy titles???

anywho...it's got a title and i've even outlined it. and that's as far as i've gotten. it was originally due this weekend, but R-sensei pushed it back to the 23rd. great. just what a motivation-ally-impaired person needs, a teacher induced procrastinational tool

coming soon.....

...to a blog near you:

A REAL UPDATE!!!

(i swear, once the semester ends)
