Books, voting, and sleepiness

Sometimes I lose track of the days. Like where did my weeks go?

School has really been abusing me the past few weeks. I spend a lot of time trying to minimise the amount of stress that it’s causing me, but that’s not really helping me a whole ton. There’s just a lot to do, so sorry if you won’t be hearing much from me. I’m trying to do at least a couple posts a week, just to get something out there, but at this point there are no promises. I have two projects due next week, as well as exams about to dump on me all at once. *Sigh* Oh the glories of higher education.

Last week, for Halloween, I read the Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe. I hate to be that person, but I just don’t enjoy poetry. I’m very persnickety about it. It has to rhyme, and it can’t be pretentious. I know that’s a tall order, and somewhat subjective, but that’s how I feel. I don’t like it when anything (or anyone) takes themselves too seriously, and I feel like a lot of poetry does that. Including Poe. The thing that I really can’t stand is that as soon as something is labelled a classic, it is automatically considered infallibly wonderful, and that is simply not the case. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s rather silly. Just because something is old doesn’t make it awesome.

I don’t have much else to say. I’m tired a lot. I’ve been sick on and off. I have a paper due, ironically, on the effects of stress on your health. In terms of outside school, I’m still working, although I’m down to about five hours per week, soon to be even less as exams close in. I still love my job though!

On kind of a final note, before I go to sleep, the election is today. As of right now, if you’re on the west coast, you can still vote. I voted! You should too. It’s important to do this. I could spend hours telling you why, but you should know by now that voting is important. GO DO IT. The results should be up tomorrow.

Goodnight!
