UH.
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY ANSWERS FOR THE PHOTO MEME BUT.
I-I'm working on it, seriously...
On other news:
Personal Stuff; Have worked my way back to a-okay, which is lovely beyond words.
Cat Saga; Gouto likes nipping, Ginkitty likes harrassing Gouto. AND I HAVE MET SHINSUKE, MY FELINE COUNTERPART.
Academic Stuff; got a 25-page paper due for my grad studies tutorial class. Not sure if I mentioned it online, but I know my RL friends are aware of this since I keep whining about it. Got all the sources, and I've been working through the books I borrowed, but I'm starting to realize that I have absolutely no drive to do the paper. I could pin it on simple laziness, but on another end, it might be because I feel like I'm researching for nothing?
Let's quantify that. Since I'm an MA student, I'm expected to work towards some sort of specialization. I've been given the space to do papers that reflect my areas of interest in my other classes, but it does not seem possible for me to do that now. Hence, I'm stuck researching on drama (not my favorite thing, at least on a critical level) and performing a textual analysis using theories that, while I'm familiar with, aren't the ones I'm out to use in the future.
It's always good to read outside of your comfort zone, but given my time constraints and the stuff I'm pulling outside of scholarly work, I feel as though I'm just punishing myself for something whose benefits will only really come out later, if there are any benefits to be had at all.
(I could also be needlessly arrogant about this whole thing. In actuality, I could easily defer the submission of the paper for next semester with absolutely no loss to me, but I abhor the idea of having an incomplete mark on my record.)
I've considered writing up a new bibliography and a paper proposal for an idea I've been tossing around in my head for some time. I'm not sure how it'll float with this professor (she's cool, but very much a member of "the old guard", to quote![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
unsymbolic), but I might as well try, right? If I manage to convince her, I'll have a much easier time.
Phoenix Wright; Just.
Um.
This game series?
It's eaten me alive.

From:

The current topic I'm doing is an a survey of the idea of revenge and how it has changed across five different periods of drama and theater. The main problems I have now are locating three more good revenge plays, and finding a theories that will back up my claim that revenge no longer possesses the same - how do I put it - complexity? That it had prior to the Renaissance.
