Literaturesque: The Busy Week Ahead and Some New Possibilities.

12.05.2014

No discussion post or deep thoughts this week...or last week. Why, one might wonder (or not)?

Finals week, a.k.a the week of hell. Exaggeration much? But that's how it feels! I always write my reviews/do any meme posts a week ahead and I decided to just go ahead and post those for last week and this week. So I want to save any discussions for when my brain is working again because I'm about to go a little insane due to the final paper for my Renaissance Drama class. It has to be at least 15 pages and that professor has high expectations that leave me super intimidated. Next I have a 7 paged final paper for Women Writers, and I just finished writing a 10 pager for that same class. So. Much. Paper writing. Thankfully, my final essay in Feminist Foundations only needs to be like, 500 words. Bless my professors soul. To end finals week on a lighter note, my Creative Writing class is going to meet at the local coffee shop during our exam time and do readings of our work or works from others we enjoy and relax. I'm looking forward to that!

Then last week was Thanksgiving of course, and I decided to take that week to spend with my family since I hadn't seen them before I left for school back in August. I was also an unashamed lazy person that entire week because lets be real, who does any school work during the breaks we have when we go back home or travel somewhere? That's a challenge I'm not going to accept. No thanks.

I'm also thinking about adding some recurring posts discussing/rambling about television shows or other forms of obsessions outside of reading. I find myself acquiring a big list of things I want to watch, things I am watching, or things I watch then stop before finishing. For example, I've yet to get past season two of Scandal. I love the hell out of that show but it's taking me the longest to try to catch up because I'm not the best at binge watching. However, I did really well keeping up weekly with some kdramas that ended a couple of months ago, like It's Okay That's Love (This one was perfection and so damn funny, I want to re-watch it) and Fated To Love You (Jang Na Ra and Jang Hyuk costarring together is my favorite thing to happen in this world). I also watch anime occasionally, but I'm only watching Psycho Pass 2 right now and I'm behind, so I need to catch up again before it ends. Maybe blogging about this will spur me into completing things? We'll see.

Anyways, enough of me rambling, I seem to do a lot of it for someone who is typically a lot more quiet in person. Farewell, I will be back to posting on December 16th!

Thank you!! Yes, I've ended up enjoying that class a whole lot more than I thought I would. Sad to be done!

All those papers. Don't drown, my dear. You'll rock it, of course ;) GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN :P

I'm not the best at binge watching TV right now either. I like the first few the 100 episodes (yes, I did succumb to peer pressure) but I have no time and no motivation to binge the first season. I'm so lazy nowadays gah

Thank you! Hopefully these papers won't be the end of me, haha. I actually want to watch The 100 myself but not not allowing it until I finish everything else mentioned. I get lazy about it too. Like sit and read for hours? Easily done. But binge watching gets me all antsy usually. I once got so behind on Grey's Anatomy I just gave up and hear I am, having only watching the first 3 seasons out of like 11!

Are you in college? Because this makes me so nervous for college. D: That's a lot of writing! All the best, though. Like Jess said -- you'll rock it!

And YES, I would totally love to see more posts about the TV shows you're watching! I used to think that book blogs should be solely about books and nothing else, but now my blog has transformed into a mashup of all the things I'm obsessed with. I'm not even sure it can be called a book blog anymore. O_O I have a huge list of shows I want to watch as well, so you're not alone. I honestly don't know how people who watch kdramas, anime, and American TV shows can keep up with all of that, because I'm drowning only under anime.

Don't worry, I love your rambling! Good luck with all that writing to do!

Yes, I'm a senior in college currently. It's definitely a lot of paper writing in regards to my major (English Literature) but this is the first time I've been assigned a 15 paged assignment, they're usually 10 pages at most and those really aren't that bad especially if you have a topic you're interested in!

and yes!! While I love all things bookish I definitely want to be able to transition into blogging about different things once I get into the flow of posting, and more ideas bloom. And I get really deep into anime and shows at times so why not post about them? :P I ask myself how I can keep up too haha it was a whole lot easier over the summer compared to trying to keep up while at school. Plus I need to read the Tokyo Ghoul manga and I have a long way to go!

Thank you!! <3

This post reminds me so much of college days...so long ago. xD But once you finished them all, you'll feel a big load off of your shoulder and that sense of accomplishment for making through the end. And other content is pretty much welcome!

Haha, oh those college days, I'm so close to the finish line. And it was definitely a load of my shoulders, now I have enough free time that I'm not quite sure what to do with myself!
