I don't want to write this essay. I mean, dualism and character foils and dark inner selves are very fun, but I don't want to talk about emotional repression and social pressures and, ugh, oppression of women. Am going to find interpretation that escapes all that nonsense. ::nods::
I've been reading my first LJ entries instead, and I'm kind of startled to realize how young I sounded about a year and a half ago. I keep insisting that college hasn't changed me at all, but it has. One, I'm even more of a hermit. Two, I spend all my spare time stuck to the computer instead of reading library books. (I rather keenly regret that particular change.) Three, I now think obsessively about kendo--I do try to spare you all and keep it out of my LJ as much as possible, but I'm sure you can't tell the difference. Four, my procrastination has sunk to new depths of shame. Five, I don't enjoy schoolwork as much as I used to. (Another change to regret.) Six, I have now managed to avoid cognitive shorthand. Oh, and seven, Yin-ki, my resident imaginary twin brother who lives in a parallel universe and speaks in a snarky voice in my head, has been silent ever since I came to college.
Okay. Expos essay. ::sighs heavily:: Shortcuts will have to be taken, unfortunately. I hate turning in anything less than my best work.
