So, I semi-accidentally slept through my 9:00 class this morning, and managed to have a dream that I was actually a part of the second chapter of my novel. Only, not, because this second chapter was kind of... Battlestar Galactica Animorphs World of Warcraft. And I'll be the first to say that's kind of... wrong. One should not, even in their dreams, have to argue with Lee Adama about troop deployment in Blackrock Depths (please forgive me for knowing random instances, I watch my sister play entirely too much). One should not have to climb a random tree during retreat and then morph into a dragonfly in order to... spy and be a helicopter, I think, was the justification. (This morph actually appeared to be me as myself, with my hands up by my eyes to represent the compound eyes of the dragonfly.) And after we won or gave up or something, I was reading over my novel and realized that I'd accidentally written the second chapter all in first person, since I'd been going through it myself. I think I decided that, since it was the rough draft, it didn't matter too much. (Apparently it didn't occur to me that it might be a problem that chapter two had absolutely nothing in common with chapter one.) I'm not sure what this says about my current state of mind... obviously I am in the process of freaking out about the 20 pages I have due tomorrow, but the freaking-out isn't as severe as it could be, since I somehow pounded out six pages yesterday that I didn't actually expect to get done. At all. So, as long as the muses smile upon me tonight I might not have to be awake at all hours. Though I probably will be, because 20 is the minimum and there's a lot more I could write in these two chapters. And I need three sitcom proposals for tomorrow morning.
Which leads me to my current dilemma. I'm feeling a wee bit overwhelmed right now, class-wise. Mostly because once I hit next week, I've got two papers a week due for three weeks in a row, and they're all 6+ page papers. Then I've got a week off and two papers eighth week. After this week, I won't have to be as intense about my seminar since it's all revising from here on out, but my TV writing class is going to keep me pretty busy. I need my Shakespeare class, so I can't let that go. I want to write for TV at some point, so I can't let that go. I've decided there's no way on earth I'm dropping my BA now, so I can't let that go. Which leaves me my Literature of the Fantastic class. Which has quite a few strikes against it already: it's at nine in the morning, I have no idea what to expect grading-wise, and it's kind of scattered, as far as I can see, in terms of goals. Plus the whole Russian thing, where I don't speak or read it at all and the prof seems to expect that most of us can. And if I let it go, I wouldn't have any more doubled-up papers. On the other hand, I prefer to have four classes. And if I take it and do well, I'm set for my English major in terms of courses and don't have to worry one bit about not graduating. Plus I want to take four classes. I'm not sue, though, if this isn't me being foolish, because this really isn't the quarter to do it if I want to have time to look for a job, too. So I'm really, thoroughly torn. I really like the concept of the class. And if I want to drop it, I have to do it by the end of this week. What ever am I to do? (I finally have a quarter where all of my classes work out from the start, and I want to drop one. Figures, doesn't it?)
I also have stories about this weekend at some point. They're even illustrated. But writing/revising/other homework comes first. So unfortunately all you'll probably know is that Paper Nietzsche had dinner with me and ten other people, and there are seats on the L specially reserved for Cylons. Oh, and Pan's Labyrinth was a good movie, but I'm still not sure how I feel about it, in terms of the ending. Definitely worth seeing, though. Unless you're really weak against violence. Because... owww. Several times severely ow. (Also, more movies should just be subtitled.)
