Let’s continue with the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, shall we?
I have no motivation to finish out the rest of the semester, so that’s fun. Now is definitely not the best time for me to be losing all motivation, considering how much I still have to do. I would love nothing more than to be done with everything, but the idea of actually doing the things to get the things done makes my head hurt.
After getting comments back on my New Historical first draft I can definitely say that it was my weakest first draft so far. Not that I’m all that surprised. On the upside, it’s nice that I’m finished with my Gender Studies paper so I can focus all my energy for a few days on New Historical revisions before I start the Reader Response paper.
Even though there’s a slim chance I’m actually going to include this paper in my final portfolio, I figure it’s worth it to try and revise just in case a miracle happens and it becomes my best paper. (I also just kind of want to redeem myself.)
Me trying to finish three more papers, a short story draft, an eleven-minute speech presentation, and a website all in the next two weeks:
With this first revision, I’m going to try and be more specific with my reading of the story. I need to hone in more closely on an issue of the time period and then construct my analysis around that. As I mentioned in my last blog post, I’m not sure why I’m struggling so much with this essay or why I hate it so much more than the others. Maybe it’s the time of the semester.
I think everyone is ready for a break, considering all that’s been going on around campus lately, and I’m no exception. At this rate I feel like I’ll be looking like this by the end of the semester:
But it’s okay! It’s fine! Everything’s fine! It’ll all be over in a few weeks and then we all get a long break! It’ll be great! Are all these exclamation points convincing you?
Hope to be back next time with a more upbeat, exciting blog post.
