GO AWAY ESSAY
Guh. It is now past eleven. I still have not started writing my essay. I am going through my book and gathering all the notes I marked. I am perhaps 2/3 of the way done with this portion of the task. However, I still need to read at least one more article about japanese nationalism (maybe 30 pages), and two chapters from a different book about Nanjing rapage (~100 pages). Then the writing must begin. This is bad ya? Essay technichally is not due until 7pm tomorrow, but I have early class tomorrow. Ill get back at maybe 1230, but then I will inevitably fall asleep due to the lack of sleep caused by trying to make progress on my essay tonight. Of course this little plan is omitting the most important step of the whole process, I need to form opinions about the material and craft them into compelling arguments. Im hoping this occurs as I read other sources and start to get a better picture formed in my head of what the fuck is going on. Maybe its just the textbook, but Japanese history is confusing as fuck. China is way easy because theres very few leaders, you get long periods of time to analyze their policies. God, speaking of China this is a comparative essay, I need to go back and review my China notes in hopes that I can remember anything about their sense of nationalism. Not looking bright, my very immediate future. Looks dark and sleepless. Man it will be fantastic when wednesday is finished though. Oh did I mention I got a Japanese midterm tomorrow also? yea not going to study, just going to rely on what I know right now, which suprisingly might be enough looking through the study guide. My roomate is playing warcraft, I just heard the bnet chains and gate. This fucking sucks.
