Exam Time is Over
I handed in two essays at 11:53 this morning. They are not the best essays ever written, but they both reached the minimum length and one of them even had time to get proof-read. If they are passable, I will have completed the longest Master's degree in the history of the universe.
For now, for a few hours at least, the "Currently reading / writing about" sidebar is empty, and I am going to bed! See you real soon, world.
(And see ya in hell, Faerie Queene!)
MA exam starts tomorrow
Preparations taken for the MA exam tomorrow:
- 2 weeks' worth of laundry done
- kitchen clean (dishwasher currently running)
- ample leftovers in fridge (chicken casserole from last night; lasagna from tonight) (also cookies)
- stocked up on groceries / necessities
- all bills paid through end of month
- DVR cleared of movies (for once!) and favorite shows set to record (also: TV remotes hidden to discourage unnecessary viewing)
- backup blog entries pre-written and ready to post sometime through the week, so that you don't all think I've died
Basically, I have attempted to pre-arrange anything and everything that is not my academic work and which could possibly take time away from me over the next week. We will see how this works.
Within the next eight days, this nightmare era of The Faerie Queene will be over. I first started working on this reading list in May 2009, people. (Pssst: and it never did get done.) I really can't say how much of a weight off me it will be when it's done.
But first: the eight days.
Long Did She Live... The Faerie Queene
Though seemed it never would transpire
Thought I 'fore I reached the end would I be dead.
Yet tonight did I finish what need be read*
Upon this moment could I ne'er be higher!
Blissful my rewards shall be
Red wine, cheese and macaroni.
*That's Books 1 and 2, incidentally. It took me two months to read one sixth of this work! I did more than half of it this week, however. That's the power of resolution after procrastination.
