The most satisfying thing in the world is printing out that huge paper that has taken over your life for the last two weeks. I have written just about 4,350 words on George Herbert and I will be so glad to be rid of him. 19 pages including annotated bibliography and abstract making for a final word count of...6,043! I have never written that much. If I had all the time in the world, there are a few things I would change and smooth out, but there is a certain point when you just have to say "this is good enough" and hopefully that point is before you go completely insane.
The good news is that I only have one other long paper to write this semester and its only 10 pages and it's Shakespeare who is much more interesting.
This semester is really crazy and I will never overwork myself like this again. I have no life and spend so much time reading that I am losing connection with humanity.
Registration for winter semester is coming up and I am going to be much more careful in my choices. Actually, I went to my guidance counselor and she planned out my life for me so it's all good. She upbraided me for taking four lit classes. *sheepish smile*
ps I love that the date post got so many comments hahahaha I can tell what you all are interested in.

Congrats on completing the paper! What an accomplishment. Shakespeare will definitely be more fun.
