(no subject)

I have a thesis for my film paper! ...that may not sound like a big deal, but after watching the film I'm supposed to analyze (Ritual in Transfigured Time, if you're interested), I was just like... what the hell am I going to say about this? And I'm so used to arguing about how various techniques contribute to form a meaning or about the author's intent in books, but that's totally the opposite of what my professor wants, since he wants us not to write about story at all and instead write as if I were a Russian Formalist. And it's just... very difficult to get my brain into this other mindset. But I wrote a thesis, which I didn't think was incredibly good but... basically the conclusions I had reached, e-mailed it to my professor, and he said it would work. So yay! Now... I just have 2000 words to write. Joy. Well, Less than 2000. My thesis is some amount of words (like... 30-50, probably). So, 1950-70 words left. And at least I have three whole days to write it, rather than just one day, like with the (longer) English paper.

I also got my last abnormal psych test back, and I got a 95, and I had expected to do worse on it than previous tests since I was more rushed for time than usual (I got 94s on the previous two tests), so I was pleasantly surprised by that. That class is already my absolutely favorite, and it doesn't hurt that I'm going to get an A pretty easily in it, unless I horribly screw up the final test next week. The rest of my classes... not going that well. Optimistic predictions would be 2 A-s and a B+, but it's more likely to be a B and two B+s. Oh well. That's still pretty good.

So yeah. Feeling mostly positive, at least for now. Bizarrely enough, the thing that's actually making me feel more negative is TV! Specifically, ( Brothers and Sisters 2.14: Double Negative )

Anyways, a week and a half until I'm done with my first year of college! I can't wait. This summer is going to be awesome.
