annundrielI feel as though I have let an opportunity pass me by.
This Philosophy final is kicking my ass and I'm terribly frustrated about it. It's not a hard paper, not by a long shot. The paper's supposed to be about what I think, for crying out loud. The problem is that the subject of Philosophy, perhaps it is only the fault of the class I am currently in, but this subject of Philosophy is just not clicking in my head. You know how there are some subjects that just take hold and you can easily follow, understand, and *gasp* even care about? For me, this isn't one of them. And that seriously frustrates me. Because I want to be able to handle this stuff and understand it, but it's like there's a road block in my mind.
EB thinks I should turn in a final consisting of "Philosophy is mostly a load of crap."
I also finally got my financial aid award letter. They gave me off-campus work study, which I am not happy about since the library only takes on-campus work study. I am currently working to remedy this situation. Have gotten the form filled out and turned in, so here's hoping. *crosses fingers*
I have tentatively started work on a (another) larger story idea. I say larger because I mean longer than a short story. I want something with a lot of substance. Yes, I am a little overly ambitious. At any rate, instead of having a character or idea pop into my head first, as usually happens, a setting was the first to appear. (This may actually be the fault of the last Thursday Next book.) Not a complete setting, but some specifics that are lending themselves very nicely to a whole picture. And I find that the more I think about/add to the settings and landscape, characters and plot are popping up almost by themselves. I am tickled with the novelty of this idea. Here's hoping it works.
I think I actually say that about everything I start writing, but it is becoming a trend that I do not finish things. Except for my play, which had to be finished, but I'm still damn proud of. Why can't I always be that funny?
That almost makes me want to write a "sequel" or "spin-off" with Richard and Cassandra. It could be cheesy in every sense of the word. And oh-so-much fun because I <3 Richard. He's such a boob. (And Ike played him wonderfully. Thank you, Ike, wherever you are!)
And DUDE! promo pics for the Farscape mini-series movie are out. OMG. These pictures make me incredibly happy. I can't wait!
Back to Philosophy....
