The wallowing continues

I’ve had two weeks worth of classes this semester and already I’m wishing I had some Prozac at hand. I’m counting the days til June 30th when this torture will hopefully be over and done with once and for all. Alas, this semester is going to keep me pretty busy seeing as I’ve got more classes, more books and more futile assignments to do excluding my ever so blessed thesis which I’ll start writing any day now, seriously I mean it this time. I’ve done all my research, it’s just a matter of getting it on paper in a way so it’ll make sense to even the densest of academic brains. Seeing as academia and I don’t mesh well, it’ll be a challenge and a treat. As you can see I’m still lacking any enthusiasm or motivation but I’ve sought solace in the one thing that brightens my day, namely baking. Cakes, cookies, as long as it’s cute and sweet I’ll show no defeat! I even got a recipe book this weekend filled with chocolaty goodness so there’s no stopping me now. I often fantasize of chucking it all in to start my own little tearoom / pastry shop. Who knows, a girl can dream can’t she? And in the meantime I’ll just keep on force feeding my loved ones. Years of over analyzing beloved books and regurgitating other peoples theories without ever being allowed to create something new have left me bitter, cynical and desperately in need of chocolate. Trust me, if you love literature then never under no circumstances be foolish enough to study it, it’ll only make you cry. Instead of being a parasite and feeding of someone else’s creation I’ve decided to leave this all behind me (in 4 months time that is) and start my journey down the perilous and rip-roaring road that is called job-hunting. Trust me I’m ready, soooo ready.
