themadpokerHi peeps! As you may know, I recently finished the very last of my uni assignments! For this year! I mean I have exams now but that's okay because a week is plenty of time to study. \o/
So with all this amazing free time I have been spending time READING. Also watching TV. With the TV I have been keeping things vampire flavoured (The Vampire Diaries and Angel! Guys, did you know there is something strangely awesome about watching Angel go all darkside I just don't care on Wolfram and Hart? Because there is! I'm not saying it's okay to let your vampire girlfriend eat a room of evil lawyers but y'know...)
On the literary front I've been reading Yann Martel's What is Stephen Harper Reading? Which is also awesome because it's basically an entire book of book recommendations! Which means I can just read one or two without getting totally caught up and losing more time then I intend to. Also Yann Martel is a very ~deep~ person and is as such completely hilarious. Sometimes he will forget to describe the book he is recommending entirely in favour of giving his opinions on ugly book covers, cliches, and politics (this would be the letter for Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Chronicles of a Death Foretold. I have no idea what happens in the book but I now know how Martel feels about dogmatism!)
Another thing I have been up to lately is repeatedly visiting the yorku website to ponder which summer course I want to take. Maybe I should get my required second year poli sci course out of the way? But what if it's as brain-numbing as this year's course was? I am afraid if it is I will lose faith in my major ENTIRELY. I'm already shaky after my current prof's insistence on following a book by a guy who implied the Holocaust was the world's first ever genocide. :/ I'm just saying dude, I was allowed to critique my readings in high school and none of them were that egregiously wrong about the world.
I'll be off to bed now; I'm trying to renormalize my sleep patterns. One of the side effects of spending an entire week frantically writing final assignments is you get used to not going to bed until 3-4 AM and when you're done you keep doing that and forget how to get up before noon.

Date: 2010-04-03 04:14 am (UTC)lazyobsessing over AP exams *cough*. Though I do remember writing a letter in the PoV of a character I knew nothing about and somehow managing an A! XD (High school = where you learn the art of BSing).I haven't read What is Stephen Harper Reading?, but I'm a BIG fan of Life of Pi...maybe I should check it out...
So glad all of your major papers are over with finally! GOOD LUCK GETTING YOUR SLEEPING PATTERN BACK ON TRACK! I know it can be difficult. :-\
