"I didn't hold back due to them giving standard interpretation because there were so few that reached standard." - One of my colleagues, discussing his first-year students

This is, indeed, the state of things. :| But ahhh, gods, I miss teaching...

More later. :|

[edit 11:55 AM]

Medieval class was interesting. There was a guest-lecture today, as the professor is away in England. Mostly we talked about problems regarding editions (and interpretations) of the Old English "Seafarer". Some bits of translations were passed around and, goddamnit, I want to read the whole thing. It's beautiful.

Well, it's beautiful until all the very Christian, very Religious language comes into play, but that's standard. (No wonder that some used to think there were two speakers or two poems, considering part seems very Pagan, and part seems very Christian). When I have a moment, later, I will put up an excerpt from part of the translation.

I went to bed late, but slightly earlier than I normally would when staying up late, and because the time for class had moved up a bit, I was able to sleep in until 8:30. I'm quite pleased with this, as I got a rather excellent amount of sleep, and I'm feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

I have to do a screening of La Grande Illusion for my film+lit class this afternoon, so until 3 PM I will be stuck at the school. Probably for the better, as I need to work on my project (still). Sigh. I have not physically written anything; mostly I have been doing research. So, I must do the writing for my project tonight (eugh). Mm, it is only ten pages, so that is no big deal. Considering everything, I might very well handwrite the damn thing, as gods know I tend to write very well by hand (and that way I can move around more easily...)

I'm very tired and frustrated at the moment, but gods know, by tomorrow that will be over. One project down, several more to go. But at least it will be one down. I might celebrate it by writing. Noon put an idea in my head and it will not go away, goddamnit. :| Ice/Nor in that order, waaaaat....

[edit 2 PM]

I've been told that when I go to visit a certain friend I shall be subjected to glorious re-education. I look forward to it. 8D

Also, I've been told that when my work is not getting done, I should say that "it is forthcoming". I like that. Sounds nice and pretentious.

[8:37 PM]

I need a boot to the head.

Also: AUGHHHHHH

Note to self: If you suck, it's okay. It's fine.

I'm going to go work on things.

...One thing that is keeping me happy right now is remembering a snippet of a sweet conversation that I had after class this afternoon. Aaah.
