Ad Mundo Exteriore,

Last night, [livejournal.com profile] blenrock and I both stayed up nearly all night finishing our respective papers. Of course, I took about a half an hour longer than she did to finally get to bed--after all, I had zero pages done by midnight, while she had about four by then, I think.

I am such a zombie right now. -_- Still, I must be feeling stressed because although I could have slept an extra thirty minutes, I got up at 8:30 anyway after remembering that I left Homer off of my bibliography.

Last night, at about midnight, which is when I fully organized my thesis and main points, I thought my idea was a pretty decent one, sufficiently original and proveable. This morning, at about five, which is when I went to bed, I thought that although two paragraphs in the paper were a little rushed and may prove to be weak points, on the whole, it was well-written. Right now, at about nine, after I've printed out my paper, I'm convinced that my arguments were inadequate in proving the thesis and that I didn't quote sufficiently enough from Plutarch and Dio. And I thought I had made this grand resolution to avoid feeling guilty over my homework. >_<

Still, the claim itself is perfectly logical and, well, true. I believe my own thesis. I even believe my own analysis--it's just that I'm not sure if it's a complete or not. Well, if nothing else, maybe the wonderful rhetoric of my prose will be enough to grant me mercy from the TF. Note the sarcasm.

Why am I writing in my LJ at this ungodly hour? I'm going to go wash my face, clean up my desk and get ready for that vocabulary quiz since for some reason my body doesn't want to go back to sleep like a sensible girl. >_>

Post-script: I think I caught a cold during the all-nighter. ;_; Oh, and if you were curious, the paper did go over six pages if put in 12-point, double-spaced font, but I resorted to 11-point, one-and-a-half-spaced font to keep it at four. Yay, a reasonable length. And I think some people type in 10-point anyway, so it's not like I'm using a dirty tactic.

Awww...:(

If you need cold medicine, I'm right down the hall, and I think my mom gave me some tea that's good against that kind of thing (of course, I dunno about these Chinese remedies...) ^^
