end of term

I hate the end of term.

I don't understand why everything gets more and more panicky and your whole workload is dumped on you with only two weeks to go.

I have one assignment due in two weeks that I'm about three-quarters of the way through, and I've done my last homework assignment for next week.

But it's this damned gender paper that I'm struggling with. I can't find a good hook to start with, I don't know what to write about . . . I'm just poring through stacks and stacks of literature, taking notes without really knowing if they'll be useful to me. The dumbest thing about it is I'm not even being MARKED on it - it's just a paper for my supervisor. But because of that, it has to be really, REALLY good. Damnit.

In other news, things have been interesting around the house. We thought it was spring for a while, but then Sheila's Brush flew in and dumped two feet of snow on us and then gave us an enormous amount of freezing rain. So it's winter again. You can't even see where it used to be spring.

Also, my oven melted. For real. It was on, and started to hum really loudly, and the element caught fire, shot sparks, and melted. Gross, I know. We now have a new oven, which doesn't have a clock or even an internal light, but it's new and it works, so that's something. It's so new and shiny it doesn't really go with the ghetto decor of my kitchen.
