Frenzy

I want to spend some time drawing or writing poems soon. Lately, I have been in a sort of IchiRuki/Bleach frenzy that has been consuming a surprisingly large chunk of my free time each day. I think I need to distract myself with other activities; it's probably not very healthy at all to be so fixated on waiting for the next chapter every week OTL. But really, Bleach is pretty much my only real, constant "obsession," and everyone has at least one weird obsession in life, so I don't think it's that bad of a thing.

Oh, the semester is finally drawing to an end; just by looking at everyone's faces, it's clear that nobody really wants to still be on campus right now. I'm so happy that I will soon be done with this batch of classes! I liked the learning and reading material that we covered this semester; we read classics like The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Aeneid, The Oresteia, Oedipus Rex, Medea, and Dante's Inferno. Some of them were a little bit long-winded at times, but for the most part, the plots and characters were really interesting and fun. The reason why I'm glad to be done with these classes, though, is that there are a few really snarky/stuffy/annoying/suck-up-ish people whom I can't wait to never see ever again. So glad I am not a lit major... Maybe like 70% of the lit majors I've had classes with always seem to have their panties in a twist, or feel the urgent need to "casually" and constantly remind the class that they are "writing a novel." Every time one of them advertises to us like that during discussions, all I can think is "ugh. please get over yourself." *facepalm*

Next semester, I won't have any more lit elective classes: all of my classes will be writing or design classes (and one prerequisite class for my psych degree). It will truly be Serious Business Time. To be honest, I'm a little nervous! I think I am nearing that time in which I must begin the slow and painful process of transitioning my brain from the "student" mentality to the "Working Human with a capital W" mentality; putting together my portfolio this semester really reinforced that idea for me. m(_ _)m Is it bad that I'm dreading growing up?

Anyway, I need to work on some essays and whatnot, and then go to sleep hopefully. Goodnight~
