Up and down, up and down

[guanin]

The day started 'eh'. Then it went slightly up when I went to my uni's library and I finally saw people. Then we sat in the reference collection room. In silence. Yet despite the total lack of interaction, just the fact that I was around people I know was a massive plus. Geez, do I need to get out. I'm all unbalanced with the aloneness/interaction thing. Just one more weekend. Three more days and the tyranny of the essays will be OVER. For like, three days, then I need to get started on my next essay. *head desk* Since I'm going home for Christmas, I need to get started cause I won't have the library for three weeks. One of those not so rare combinations of "Yay!" and "Aw, shit". Meanwhile, I've developed a constant ache in my elbows from leaning them against tables so much.

I seriously need to detox from work. One of the girls in my class is planning a get-together at her house when all this madness is over. Another one said she would call me for coffee. I want to ask out one of the guys who works at the library. Apart from my complete lack of knowledge about how the hell to do that, in my experience, guys I'm interested in either have girlfriends or boyfriends.

Speaking of, apparently the cards from my uni are mutants or something because they won't work on the printing machines. It took like half an hour with four different people to sort out a system where they transfer money that I've already topped up on my card onto a temporary printing card and then transfer the remainder when I'm done. I printed the first two essays and I was all 'yay' because I got that done, but then I got home and realized that I need two copies of each. And I only got one. Ugh. I'm going again tomorrow, because I don't want to print everything on Monday.

Proof that I'm overworked: earlier I was breaking into random bouts of hysterical laughter. It happens. At least I don't laugh and cry at the same time like some people I know. I don't know if could handle that. I'm taking a break for the rest of the night, which consists of four hours since I need to go to bed at midnight because I have a class at ten tomorrow. I-m basically done with the research, anyway, except for these two little things I need to skim through, and I have 1,000 words down, so that’ll be fine. I'm watching another episode of season 1 of Heroesand remember the good old days, then write something, though I'm not sure what since the two prominent things on the 'to do' list are angst and I need something cheery.

¡Ha estudiar!.

a Casa por navidad, ¿estarás de nuevo en REino unido después de 6 de enero, o antes', aquí se celebra los reyes magos es decir que es festivo. O sea no hay ningún tipo de clase hasta después de reyes.

Estudiaré mañana. Hoy de verdad que estoy bien cansada.

Regreso el 4. Mis clases comienzan el 5, lo cual odio, porque reyes es un día en el que siempre estoy con mi familia. Aparentemente, para los protestantes ese día no importa, por que en EU, las escuelas primarias también comienzan justo después de año nuevo.

I'm totally sorry if my question will stress you out even more but: when exactly are you supposed to write your thesis? Or will the essays be included in your thesis?

Ah, the thesis. Everyone's doing their best not to think about that. At least I have a subject, even if it's still vague at the moment. Most people have no clue. It's due at the end of September of next year. The process of meetings and proposals doesn't start until next term, though. Everyone knows that we're barely keeping our heads above water with the essays, though I have plenty of time to finish this last one. I can do essays on a topic related to my thesis, so I'm doing that by writing two of them on Aztec religion.
