Start panicking!

First of all, I just want to say that this eblogger site can be a real pain in the ass. Sometimes I can access my blog straightaway, other times not. And when I can't, I have to re-login, MANY times unsuccessfully. I've banged my keyboard several times because of times. For F sakes, I'm lazy enough as it is to update this blog, and all this problem are NOT helping at all!!

rants aside,... no, screw that, I still want to rant. It's 3:42 AM now. I just had a few hours sleep before midnight so the drowsiness has not re-settled yet. I had finished my Bibliography paper that I have to submit in a few hours time. I don't know if I had got it all correctly, but I'm hoping for the best. I thought this class would be a piece of cake, because, heck, it's only about citing sources and stuff. You know, making acknowledgements and all. Turns out it was quite a living hell. I think this class will be the death of me. Fortunately, one of my friends (a very nice -and pretty to boot- girl named Ginger) asked me to come along to the library to join in the discussion with some others on making the paper. Apparently, I'm not the only one having trouble with the class and the papers, which was a huge relief. If it weren't for them, my paper would've been a total mess. Well, it still is anyway, but I'm sure it's much, much better now with my friends' help. But looking back now and counting the total time it took me to finish this paper... I think it took me around 15 hours to finish this paper. 15 hours! Just to make 10 citations! If it took me this long just to make 10 citations I shudder to think how long it will take me to finish my major project...

Okay, this week will probably be my busiest one yet. First there's a paper on TWO critical essays on Aphra Behn's works I have to finish for next Monday, which will ALSO be my turn to do the oral presentation in the class, and then there's a 100+ lines of Beowulf I have to translate, then there's a transcription assignment plus textual criticism on some woman's letter (I forgot her name) concerning the ballot or voting system in... colonial America was it? I don't even remember. And oh, don't forget to finish reading The Rover. And for the love of God and all that's sacred in my puny life, START WORKING ON THE MAJOR PROJECT!! Lastly, if it's possible, squeeze in a few hours of Neverwinter Nights 2 or God mode in God of War (video games... how could I bear life without you...).

Yikes! I better start cracking.

Going to sleep now.
