(no subject)

[readingredhead]

So I'm annoyed right now because I have two papers due within the next two weeks and I don't want to write either of them. Worse than that -- they're English papers, and I don't want to write them.

Maybe if I had a decent idea for what I was going to write them about, it wouldn't be such a bad deal, but as it is I've got a paper due Friday and a paper due a week from Tuesday and there is no subject that's really catching my fancy for either of them.

Of course, there are other things that I can do, and probably I'll do them, since it's nice to get things done. Probably I'll read ahead for Shakespeare or for Russian. But reading ahead, while great, doesn't get my papers written for me.

(I've noticed lately that I'm a very complaining person. I need to whine before I can get something done. Maybe that's not completely true, but I do it anyway. Today I called my dad because I was bothered that I had to write the papers, and I realized that literally the only thing I wanted to talk to him about was my own complaining. I'm pathetic, huh?)

I don't think it's pathetic at all. Sometimes you just need to get things off of your chest.

Oh please, I do this ALL the time. You sat next to me in 45B last semester, you should know that! :) How are you doing this semester?

Heh, okay, so I'm not the only one. I'm doing okay. Liking 45A, even though I don't have a paper topic at all yet. I'm taking English 117S also and not liking it as much...it's not hard but there's no inspiringly great lecturing going on -- Altieri is no Goldsmith. How're things with you?

Me too

Yeah, I definitely do this too, complaining for the sake of complaining because somehow it makes it better. Sometimes it bugs people who don't get that I don't really mean it, not really.

I know a few people who just sort of wallow in the complaining, though, and that's no good.

good luck on your papers :)
