beccaelizabethSo far today: Watched 'Sharpe's Eagle'.
I do like the way he gets the crap kicked out of him so often.
Its not 'oh look, war, whee!', that is the attitude the bad guys have.
Good guys get splatted but keep going.
That scene in the hospital, I think there were more one leg people than I've seen in a year of anything else. Jobs for disabled actors!
Homework eats my brain...
Today my plan is to read more textbook (still on the chapters that don't contribute to essays directly) and maybe write an outline for essay that is mine. Essay that is for class I need data from class for, though actually teach might be printing out the data I found from the web, so, that I have already.
Can write about representations of age or disability. Age looks simpler, but disability is more interesting. Is only 1000 words either way. I keep getting thoughts like 'I could write both'. And then remembering that is the insane plan.
I'm finding this year my brain is working much better. I've probably done 1.5 times the work of last year - two days a week, but less hours on one day. It was hard and made me whiny, but I went in for two days this week and am not whiny. Er, tired and grouchy and headachey, yes, but not whiny... Okay, so perhaps my theory needs work...
I'm left rather hopeful about next year, when two days a week should easily be half the course, which is how much I need to do to get funding.
I like this end of the year. There's a point past which knowledge reaches critical mass, and new knowledge leads to more new knowledge, rather than confusion. Everything hangs together and clicks into place. Or at least enough of everything to leave a happy learning glow instead of massive wah.
I read textbook for fun! Yaays!
