Emotionally tired, academically tired, something like that. I handed my Creative Writing assignment in this morning, (that's the third assignment in five days), it's the only one of the three I'm actually happy with and never quite reached the "I never want to look at it again" status. Now there is only my Lit essay to go...which is kinda the problem. It's due in on Friday, and then the readings/tute write-ups in on the Monday (the latter are easy enough, they're like mini assignments, and the mini-ness makes them quite bearable), but the Lit essay feels like *real* huge sense of impending inevitable DOOM that's been hanging over my head the last two weeks. It's as if the Impending, Inevitable sense of doom that was around before was just the warm up or something, and here we go for the real thing. ::sigh::
I'm struggling through journal articles that may or may not have relevance to the proposition I formulate, because I don't know what my proposition is yet. I know I'm looking at the novel of Fight Club, and the way gender is central to its Gothic-ness, and I think I want to focus on Marla, or at least femininity but I don't know how to form the argument. I desperately need to talk to my tutor, but she didn't respond to my email about possible consultation day, so I've sent another one trying not to sound too despairing saying the equivalent of "Wednesday? Thursday? Anything? Please?" Now that I sort of have a topic/prop, I sort of need to have something to give her to workshop, now I don't I? ::moan::
OK, going home in about 20 mins, but until then I will aimlessly surf the net, wasting valuable computer time, space and bandwidth.
::breathes:: Next time this week it will all be over, and it will be okay.
