Tonight was fun as usual. I started to run out of steam during the second half of the night however.
I have this huge paper looming over my head right now that I'm only 1/3 of the way done with. I have to argue Michael Haneke's succeses and failures in capturing the problems that French people face in dealing with immigration, racism, xenophobia, etc.
I have to write 10 pages on this even though we didn't discuss any of these in class. I'm not a lower class kid from France and definitely don't know what problems that they are currently dealing with.
I hate having to bullshit my way through a paper. This is the second time that this particular professor has had us write a paper that has almost nothing to do with what we've talked about in class.
I'm a physics major damnit. This is what I get for taking classes I don't particularly care about to fill up some hours. *half hearted sigh* Note to self, never take a class just because you think it's an interesting topic. You just might end up writing a 10 page paper in four days about French lower class culture while also desperately trying to make some new friends with people you met on the internet in a brand new city where you're feeling lonely because you stupidly left behind all your awesome friends in Cleveland. Run on sentence like a motherfucker yo!
That guy and the other crazy professor I've had who introduces a new concept and then hands out a quiz two seconds later have introduced a bit of stress into my life recently. I've had 9 quizzes and 20 pages of random bullshit to write this week alone. I picked some bad classes this quarter. I'm used to having at least a week or two to get to know the professors and what they are looking for before I have to do this much work.
I tried to hide my stress as much as possible tonight since none of you know me well enough for me to bother you with it. I hope I didn't seem too depressed though since I honestly had a really good time, I was just half of my usual chipper self.
I should also add that I've been having an awesome time meeting all of you. This move has been a little hard on me, especially since I get a ton of messages each week on my phone with people telling me how much they miss me while I've got no one over here to call up and act silly with.
Eat fudge bananna swirl!
When was the last time you listened to The Pogues?

I guess at least it's only 10 pages and you have access to Google.
I know what you're sayin about going out and hiding the stress. It doesn't help to sit at home and pine about it, reinforcing the stress. Going out could be good for your state of mind. But sometimes it just doesn't cheer you up. And then you dont want to bring everyone else down either. I'm a big advocate of "If you're gonna come out and stay grumpy and piss everyone else off, don't come. We can have a good time wihout you (no you of course, but the general you-everyone)
Last time i listened to the Pogues? in college. My roommate was straight up NYC Irish. And we drank. Heavily.
