klenaIt is before midday, I have almost exactly 7 days to write and submit a 3000 word essay (and 7 days and 4 hours to write and submit a 4000 word essay).
Is it wrong of me as a student of academia to think that writing on cultural studies makes me feel a little wrong? It's highly strange to have to produce 3000 words that are my own opinion as explored and augmented with other critical commentary.
Of course, the difficult thing is that I am quite stressed at the minute and, as I have discovered from university CALM websites and depression and a myriad of other sources, when you are stressed it is difficult for you to decide on 'things'. Unfortunately, this apparently also translates to having an opinion on works of anime. I don't think it would be conducive to my grade to write a 3000 word essay on how "Spirited Away" is just, like, really pretty? And easy watching?
....
No. Definitely not conducive.
Also, because this module is in the East Asian Department rather than my usual English Department hauntings, apparently there are different ways of referencing and writing the essay. This is highly perturbing!
I am totally being epic at procrastination. I am going to go to the department (pick up an essay writing guide), go to the union (pick up birthday card for granny and some brain food), try not to pull my hair out, re-watch "Spirited Away" in the library and then write at least 1000 words before midnight. Totally manageable, right?
