"The readiness is all."
Sep. 28th, 2013 09:12 amIt has been five or six weeks (I really should check for sure; I have lost track of time completely) into my first semester as an English major. *sighs* So far, there has been quite a bit of gnashing of teeth on my part. There are definitely times when I don't feel like I can do this for real in the real world. My main problems are confidence and planning. If I can overcome those two hurdles, I don't think that any other obstacles will stand in my way. Luckily, I have had very encouraging and understanding professors. I think that I'm beginning to master my insecurities, but... we'll see. I feel like "we'll see" is the mantra of this journal! ^^;
I should probably be doing homework now. D: I have to write about ten different fallacies and do some reading of two articles for one of my English classes. For the Shakespeare class, I have to finish Much Ado About Nothing (acts 4 and 5) and answer homework questions. That's not too hard, but I feel like I should really reread the whole darn play because I read the rest of it when I was tired and unfocused. I also want to prepare for the essay that's due next week for peer review! *pulls out hair*
It's stuff like this that makes me second-guess my choice of an English major...
Psychology's not so bad. Typical stuff. Red and do the study guide: that's it. Also, my second book review draft is due soon... I need to reread for that because I was tired/didn't finish the last reading. Do you see a pattern here?
Music... is by far the easiest class. It helps that I already know quite a bit about the western tradition of classical music. The main thing is to keep up on the reading. I also have a concert report... but I can't do that until I go to the concert! XD;; It's due on October 18th.
I... would love to waste more time writing here, but I'm feeling tired and sense that my best strategy is to do my work. *sighs* As long as they don't have to write "death by college" on my tombstone... I have many more interesting stories and happenings to share that have transpired in the past few weeks of school before that happens, but my mind is weary and drawing a blank! It will have to wait.
Until then...
