God, it's been a long time since I updated this...and I'm only updating it right now because I'm tired and don't want to work on my essays. *sweatdrops* Although good stuff has been happening lately - like having an actual research project that involves GENETICS to work on this summer, I just feel tired.

Maybe it's do with the fact that nobody else seems to enjoy what I do. I don't just mean general things, like spending a quiet evening reading instead of going out all the time, but specific things. Like, for example, I'm going to do a presentation on T.S. Eliot for my American Lit tutorial at the start of next term, so I told the class to be sure to read The Waste Land, 'cuz that was the poem I was going to speak on the most. And they were all like, oh, we hate The Waste Land, and I had to go "Tough shit, because I like it and it's my presentation" Another example is my interest in genetics - to which people usually go "Oh, I think cloning is wrong, don't you? And I would *never* eat genetically modified food." As if genetics isn't way more complicated than that.

*Sighs* I'm just fed up with college and work in general. And I have no idea what I want to do with my life, except that I know I wanna write - and college isn't giving me enough time to do that.

I know how you feel, I'm kind of in burned-out mode meself. Have been all term. Which is really, y'know, not fantastic re: that whole GPA thing... But whatever. I think my priorities might need some reorganizing.

For the record, I <3 The Wasteland. :)

*wan smile* Burned-out is not fun, through I feel better having made some progress on my essays. (And I'm glad you like The Waste Land...it's reassuring to think I'm not the only one crazy enough to read Eliot for fun. ^_¬) Maybe the break will help us both de-stress? And speaking of de-stressing, wanna go grab lunch or coffee with me next week?
