woo hoo!
quick! congratulate me! i've been online for the last 18 hours (WTF?!) and i'm sorta done with my essay for culture industries. yessire, i chalked up all 3600 words from 11pm till right about now. and i've got nifty tables! and pictures! pretty pretty pictures. and a poem too. hahahah. its a little essay about the commodification of the asian female as seen through disney's mulan. using the circuit of culture that we were taught as a framework. hmm. after doing thesis proposal, every single essay i've written after that has followed the same guidelines, e.g. chapter 1 - intro, research question, blah blah. boring but very erm sructured. and strucutre is good, ja?
sorry, i'm feeling a little light headed, and not to mention, HUNGRY. i get rambly when i'm tired and hungry. hmm. but i have no more food in my wee little room. except for roasted grams. hmm. not in the mood for that right now.
at least i'm halfway through my hellish week. this essay which i've sort of completed is due in erm 8 hours from now, so that gives me plenty of time to sleep, till oh lets say... around 1pm. then its editing time, printing time, then class time.
following which i have to prepare slides for a presentation on this same essay. should be a piece of cake. problem is i want to capture some footage off the dvd, and am not quite sure whether the lab can do it or whether i have time between 10 till noon to get it done. hmm.
and after that class, i'll prolly indulge in a swim and then SLEEP. uh huh. and then, it'll be friday, and my dear honours classmates are planning to go out to celebrate the fact at WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE ESSAYS/PRESENTATIONS. whoopee! and then, and then, finally, i'll get to see my dear boy.
yes. last i saw him was the thursday on the eve of deepavali. that was a mighty long time ago. and its not as if we talk every night on the phone u know. at least there's been some icq activity, but generally not much. been missing him sorely and i'm ashamed to admit that it did really get to me, especially during the last two weekends. esp since i've stayed back in PGP due to the overwhelming amount of work. and its just so sad that i'm here, and he's not here with me.
oh wells. happy times are coming soon! can't wait to wear my contacts again. hardeharhar. and go to din's house for deepavali. gimme good indian chow, ja? . do LAUNDRY. (eew). and GO FOR JOHN DIGWEED on the 14th!! anyone coming? come lah, come lah!
