End of Semester

Yay! The semester is over!
I don't know if I am overly happy about that though. I had to type a five-page paper based on my readings in my Japanese literature class instead of taking a traditional final. We had several topics to choose from, and I decided it would be great to write about the role and fascination of licensed quarters in the "floating world", thinking that there would be an abundance of material on this topic. However, I quickly found out that there was an abundance of sensual material, but a good chunk of it did not or only barely had anything to do with the licensed quarters. At that point though, it was too late to pick a new topic and start over.
Here I have a confession to make: As much as I wanted never to forget my medication again, I realized that I was running out of antidepressants. I did ask for refills, but to preserve gas, I can't drive back to the Quad Cities every week or so. I also didn't ask my mother to send me my meds because I didn't want to cause her any additional stress. So, I thought, "Ah, what the hell. I'll be okay without my antidepressants for two or three days.". Unfortunately, I started having withdrawal symptoms on the second day... I had dizzy spells, nausea, extreme drowsiness, my body would start to shake, etc.
Needless to say, I could hardly concentrate on concentrating, let alone on a paper.
In the end, I wasn't able to fill out five pages, it was a few minutes late, and I really don't remember what I was writing about and/or if it made any sense.
However, I'm still not finished with my coursework. I have two courses that I need to finish: One on statistical methods and the other on social psychology. I'm looking forward to these because I can work at my own pace, but I still want to finish them before August.
Oh yay, the joys of my post-semester schedule, but I'm pretty happy that I at least have a vague schedule for the summer.
Okay, I'm done. No more bitching from me today.
Back to watching Dark Water (the original version, that is)...creepy.
