et pour de vrai

This is how dissertation writing feels. One step forward, one step back. Nap attack!

j'y suis presque arrivee!

WELL WELL WELL. After finishing the two terms, four modules, approximately 30 books, and five essays totaling 24000 words, it's finally nearing the end! Only one more little essay, a-hem, dissertation... To finish and I'm outta here. The dissertation is, without a doubt, the scariest and most daunting part of this whole process but I've luckily moved out of my place in Sheffield and am living it up with the cutest little dog and my favorite godmother for the summer (not to mention the world cup to keep me sane). I've set myself manageable goals for my writing and researching and I'm living everyday for the moment when I submit this damn thing, so I feel ok about the whole process. I am little bummed however to have to wish away the summer like this. But then I think... 46 more days till I'm FREE, and 50 days till I'm back in France! AND THEN 59 days till I'm STATESIDE!!!!

Weee!!!

Obligatory:

this is what i have to share a bed with

panic mode.

2 assignments. 36 days. 12,000 words. A haze of very vague ideas. Sweet baby jesus, why didn't I start this sooner?!
