mere days

hello, followers of my life. i have excellent news for you! i have officially handed in 1 out of the 3 final papers due this week. i wash my hands of it! now, on to round 2: grammar. i think it's going to work out fine, and i think mary clark is going to like it. it's my plan to finish that one up today, as well. that will mean i have wed, thurs, and friday before 5 to finish the one about rosalynd. and, i didn't tell you this, but people at school were really digging my presentation on rosalynd, so that is definitely a good sign. i'm happy now to have a direction.

in short, i feel so much better about everything. if i could just figure out how to be less of a procrastinator, i would really apply for phD programs. the reason i end up hating things is because i wait until the last minute. that's really the truth. right now? i love being an english literature person! i love reading, and i really do enjoy writing about that reading. it's just the deadlines that kill me; the feeling that i'm writing into an academic void. i don't know. i do like it. it just doesn't like me.

:)

p.s. i'm going to guest-blog on the fashion site in july!!! YIPPERS!

You're so close to being finished! I'm really excited for you! I know exactly how you feel about the phd. I'd love to get one, especially after hearing everyone around here talking about it. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one not attempting to continue on. Oh well. I just am not sure I am ready to commit to something that huge.

Congratulations on the guest-blogging spot! Let me know when you post so I can read it. :D
