Breathe, Morgan, Breathe
Oh Lord. I just realized that this next week and a half are going to be sheer academic Hell. I have about 5 papers due, a midterm, oh dear God this is wretched. I mean, I don't worry that I will not get it done. I will as I always have. I do, however, worry that it will be real shitty work and that I will be a real shitty person while doing it. Am I above asking for an extension? Probably yes. Am I above bitching about it for the time being? Hell no.
So if my posts are shorter and less thought out in the coming days, don't worry. I am otherwise occupied with the chores of academia. If I am hateful, seem as if I have my head in a cloud, etc., this is the reason, and don't worry, I'm being hateful to everyone. Just a bit of a disclaimer.
Why, you ask, did you put all this off if you knew you had to do it during fall break? The truth is, I hadn't thought about how much I have to do until this morning when it hit me like a large, gas guzzling SUV. And now I am borderline frantic. Oh well. At least I had a few days of freedom from worry.
And now before I go tackle Pope (you know, physically tackling a hunchback is always a good way to get rid of stress), I will tell you about this awesome movie I saw last night. Yes, Matt and I are 3 for 3 on picking good movies lately. Our latest conquest: Saved!. We watched it for two reasons: 1)We like anything that critiques an American ideal. 2) It was produced by Michael Stipe, who I am currently obsessing over. It was awesome, and while offering a critique, it managed to give a positive, thought-provoking ending. The characters were very excellently drawn I thought. And being from a place with more churches than people, I am able to say that many of the critiques, while they may seem outlandish, ring true.
I would like to write more about the movie, and I might later, but now I need to get to Pope. Have a good un, and think of me. Having a nervous breakdown. And laughing about it.
