I WIN AT LIFE.

Well, that's what I want to say, because over the last 24 hours I've finished my linguistics assignment, summarised all claims and defences in Trespass to Person, written Naruto crack, read volumes 21 and 22 of Naruto, translated part of Mirage of Blaze and slept for a reasonable amount of time.

However, I am not a winner at life yet, because I still haven't done my Foundations assignment; have to summarise Trespass to Land, Duty of Care, and Breach of Duty; I haven't even looked at the material for my two exams and one quiz on Wednesday; I haven't finished That Freaking AU; I haven't caught up in Naruto; and I haven't finished translating chapter 2 of Mirage of Blaze, dammit.

So going well, but need to do better, and am rapidly running out of time.

CURSE YOU, MIDTERMS! >F

However, still pretty smug. And all the fannish things can be caught up on in the holidays AFTER next week, oh ye week of hell, so. *smug*

Also, it occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, Ji was right and I am an anally retentive obsessive over-achieving dumbass when I look at all the detail I've put into my linguistics assignment and consider all the time I spent searching for the name of a case mentioned once, briefly and not by name, in the second lecture of term when every other student I've talked to is like "yeah, whatever. If I get a pass, that's good enough."

...

Why do I have the driven need for High Distinctions? *headdesk* WHO'S ACADEMIA'S BITCH? THASSA RIGHT. ME.

Eh...aiming high is good. Attention to detail stands people in good stead, usually.

That's a lot of stuff you've manged to get done in just one day. ^^

Thank yoou!

Aheh, yeah, sort of. It's probably not as much as it sounds, though, because I'd done most of my linguistics assignment already. ^^;

*stares in awe* You've got such a distinctive drive to succeed ... and I admire that very much. *huggle* Good on you!

You can put it that way, or you can say I'm obstinant to the point of bloody-minded stupidity. <<;

Thank you! *hug*

Too many assignments. Too many exams. Too much RSI and trying futilely to type left-handed. WHY DO YOU MOCK US THIS WAY, CRUEL FATE?

WHY DO WE CARE WHAT MARK WE GET, WHEN WHATEVER WE DO, WE SHALL PASS? WHY ARE WE DRIVEN TO ACTUALLY TRY, WHEN WE DON'T NEED TO? WHY DO OUR BODIES NEED TO BE CONSTRUCTED OUT OF FLESH AND SINEWS THAT *ACHE* FROM THE TYPERY?

I know! Why can we not be like these other uni students that surround us and are happy with a pass? why are we so obsessive? and failing that, why are we not cyborgs who need not sleep or eat or worry about injury? that is a very pressing question, indeed.
