Today, I was taking a shower (omg, a shower during final's week, inconceivable!) and contemplating my King Lear paper. I finally hit upon a thesis statement, and a good introduction, which made me immediately nervous that I would forget it before I finished. So I got out of the shower, put on a towel, darted out into the living room hoping no one was around, grabbed the first notebook I saw, and scurried back into the bathroom to write down my thoughts. Then continued my shower. I now have a rather wet notebook. But I also have a thesis statement that I won't forget. (I'm also considering attaching my math equation as an appendix or something, because unfortunately it explains what I'm getting at a little better than I've actually managed so far in words...)
Normal people don't do things like this for papers, right?
This would probably be easier if the prof and TA hadn't put so much pressure on me to come up with another "brilliant" paper. Seriously, wtf. That was a fluke! A fluke! I got lucky once! Let me continue just scraping by, I can't handle this pressure! (Though, on the plus side, this gives me a little more leeway to torture the heck out of double-meanings in the language of my paper. I love being able to get away with that. Though it won't be nearly as bad as the Hamlet Wishes Desperately that Mpreg was Possible paper, what with his father impregnating him and then becoming a figment of his imagination and such. This paper right now appears to be about how Cordelia is Secretly Also the Fool, and The Fool is Psychic, Or: Watch Me Play with Math Terminology As a Metaphor for EVERYTHING. I think my thesis needs some narrowing at this point. In the end, it'll probably end up being mostly about the word "difference." Yay.)
