Spent entire day in libraries (am so sad that this was probably the last time I need to visit the National Library), and got home around 8:30pm to eat dinner. It turns out it was a good thing that I went a bit overboard and made enough chinese chicken with oyster sauce stir fry to feed a family for a few days. It certainly makes eating easier. Ah, microwaves.
In the good news, I have finished all my Etruscan research (as usual, went overboard and now have more sources than planned, but whatever). Tonight, I'm fixing up the final draft of my dissertation for printing tomorrow, and I will start writing the essay tomorrow. I'm going to try to attend as much of anime series night as possible too. I need a break, not to mention, I really want to see Samurai Champloo 24-25.
Am very happy to note that I'm still in the country on saturday, since it means I can see Dr. Who (even though I already downloaded it... it's not like I have the time to watch it anyway).
Ran into a friend today and when told her my stress, she said I didnt' look like I was stressed. I've had people tell me that before in other situations over the past few years and I think at some point (I bet it was during my ever so lovely holiday in Italy) I developed the extreme coping mechanism of making everything on the outside look okay, even when on the inside I'm breaking down. I've been dressing very nicely every time I've had to go out in the past week because even if I don't feel good, at least I can look good. And there's this sort of false cheer when I chat with people either online or off that I can feel, but I guess they don't notice. I look very calm on the outside, but inside there's just a little voice going, "Two more days. Two more days."
I'm on target atm at least. I can't slack off tomorrow, but so long as I get to the main body of the essay by the time anime roles around, I should be all right. I'd sort of like to finish on Wendsday in time for Japanese, but I suspect that's an unrealistic and stressful goal, so will just hum very loudly every time the workaholic in my mind suggests it.
Do I work too much on stuff here at uni? I mean, I do do a lot of work, but I feel like I slack off most of the time too. And yet I get people gaping at how much work I do do.
