the state of bedlam
Nov. 19th, 2011 04:50 pmSomehow my sleep schedule managed to get -- well, actually I shouldn't say completely fucked, but it got tilted an hour or two off. Which is not that bad, all things considered, except for how I can't function on less than seven hours of sleep, and ideally I need more like eight. To put this in perspective: ideally I would like to go to bed between eleven pm and midnight and wake up between seven-thirty to eight-thirty. Somehow in the past two weeks I started going to bed between midnight and one -- maybe one-thirty -- but I still have to get up at the same time because I have morning classes. So while I am still functioning on a more normal sleep schedule than most college students (judging by my roommates' twitter timelines, heh), it is a schedule that really does not work for me. Hopefully I'll be able to correct that over the next week or so.
Meanwhile, I am gearing up for my Chaucer paper; I have had the assignment for a couple of weeks now but haven't done anything with it since my brain was going OH GODS OH GODS THESIS HELP GREEK LATIN MOAR GREEK MORE LATIN THESIS OMG. I have a topic! Which is good. And some sources, though not exactly what I'm looking for, which surprises me, because I didn't think my topic is that out there. (Law and disorder in the Knight's Tale and the Wife of Bath's Tale, since both of them have that similar scene of the queen asking the king/duke for the knight's life. So making order out of chaos? Something like that. *hands*)
Ugh, I am so glad next week is Thanksgiving. I mean, yes, I will be writing thesis through the entire thing, but I won't have to go to class or arrange my life around my Latin homework. THANK THE GODS. (Plans for Thanksgiving -- going over to Chicago's, I guess, since her mom decided to come down last minute. I offered pumpkin pie and dinner rolls; they'll do everything else, I guess.)
Also, I am considering getting bangs. People who have met me in RL! Would I look good with bangs?

Fannnish stuff:
1. Am having real problems structuring the plotty BSG S4 AU, which is frustrating me. If anyone wants to talk about this, HI. HIT ME UP.
2. I feel my feelings towards a lot of the BSG vids I have stored up are, "HI. ATHENA'S AND HELO'S FEELINGS ARE VALID TOO."
3. OMG Fringe WTFBBQ?
4. At some point in my life I should probably consider my Narnia Big Bang fic. I know what it is! I just have to, you know, write it. Though after the thesis, obvs.
