Procrastinating, FTW?
So here I am writing an LJ post instead of writing a response paper that is already two hours late.
As you guys have probably noticed by now, I've been doing a fantastic job procrastinating by means of artwork. Ever since I received my new Wacom Bamboo tablet, all I seem to want to do is paint. But alas! I have this thing called an academic job of sorts that requires me to do a lot of work and drains the life out of me. Which actually is only part of the reason why I've been mostly absent on LJ during the course of this past year.
I am wrapping up the first year of my PhD program, which is kind of crazy since it feels like just yesterday, I was freaking out on this LJ about applying to programs. And here we are, and I'm actually...well, mostly surviving! It has been a crazy year for sure, and when I have more time I will write about it... and about my trip to Cancun which I still haven't had a chance to edit/resize pictures from (because I'd rather paint fan art than resize and edit 300 some odd pictures...)
I really should be writing on Thomas Middleton's Women Beware Women.
...sigh.
I really can't wait for this semester to be over; Early Modernism/Renaissance stuff is so not my thing and it's been a constant source of academic frustration for me.
