So, I've been writing on a fic for Comics Big Bang. I've got two possibilities, because for a while there one was coming a lot easier than the other.

Well. LOOK AT THIS:



HOLY SHIT, I CAN'T EVEN.

OH MY GOOOOODDDDDD.

I broke 5K in around. uh. A week? Ish? Not even.

O___O

So, if you've been talking to me in the past few weeks, you know that I've been seriously angsting to hell and back about my research paper. This is going to be a massive fucking piece of work because holy god, it's gotta be 15-20 pages.

And it's gotta be on the Romantic Period of British Literature.

Yeah, no, I didn't know that British Lit 2 would involve a huge study of poetry. I'M NOT A FAN.

But I've been fretting because this is the same teacher I had the paper about The Two Towers with, so I know how she is. And I knew that if the topic I chose bored me to tears, it would do the same to her. So I've been going back and forth for a few weeks about what the fuck I'm gonna do. First it was about Napoleon and how he's considered a romantic hero in that period (which makes me laugh way too hard), then it was about Mary Wollstonecraft and her Vindication on the Rights of Woman and how that followed the women's rights movement.

And while I think that's interesting, it's not me. I found it to be kind of boring? I researched a few things here and there but I kept coming back to my favorite poem and the one author I really fucking love when it comes to poetry.

Coleridge.

And Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Since the supernatural (yes, I giggle every single time) is a big thing in the romantic period, I wondered if I could focus on that. SO, today, in class? I asked her about it and I mentioned pulling a bunch of different pieces and she goes, "well, why don't you just do your paper on the supernatural theme in Coleridge's work?"

I COULD HAVE HUGGED HER, OH GOD.

So, in short, my paper is going to be fangirling about Coleridge, both Shelley's, and maybe one other. I AM EXCITED NOW.

No more angsting, yaaaaaaaaaayyyy.

In other news, tickets for Fall Out Boy in Charlotte go on sale on Friday, I think, and ahahaha. Probably not going to be able to get a ticket. I get financial aid on Thursday, but I've got to make a decision about whether or not I want to/can do DragonCon. It's going to depend on a few factors, but mostly depending on getting my car settled (it's got an oil leak, eurgh and needs to be inspected) and all. I should be getting enough back from my FA stuff, but yeah.

How are you guys? ♥
