ink_splotchI have made sweet potato pie! And rolls! I feel so domestic - today I cleaned and cooked and baked, and it was amazingly nice. It felt really good and active; like I achieved things (things that made other people happy and warmed up my house!). I did also create a mini-anthology of World War I poetry, but in the grand scheme of things, cooking is much more exciting.
I also read Stargate: Atlantis fic (Nunc Dimittis - Rodney is a monk and John is a wayward knight, and OH MY, how much do I love medieval AUs? Medieval AUs that take place in monastries!) and watched seven episodes of Darkwing Duck while cooking and why can't every day be like this? For serious. I could get behind that.
(However, tomorrow I need to finish reading Jude the Obscure - current front-runner in the category worst literary characters ever - and buy and read Endgame, as well as fill out several funding forms for masters funding and current SU funding and possibly clean my room. I also need to book a table for Friday - my second anniversary,yay! Also, as of tomorrow, there's two weeks until I get my grades. I want them now, curse the English department!)
But until then, I am going to eat sweet potato pie, listen to Working on a Dream and feel calm. mmm, yes.

Strangely, my workload this term is not quite that bad. I mean, yeah, but it's reasonably understandable, so = awesome.

Is it interesting? Because that helps ;)

It is, sort of. The only problem is that I'm taking Industrial-Organizational psychology, and keep getting pissed off on some of the people who deigned to grace us with their theories on effective organization structure and hierarchy.
But hey, at least I'll be able to discuss my texts properly in the exam!

Hmm, I know the feeling, if not exactly the situation. Sometimes Critical Theory is like that - all This Is How It Works, and you kind of want to write epic essays on how, no, it really isn't.

And my little socialist heart *screams*.
