spiderpigI am shit ass tired, I'm cranky and I have a bari sax practice in half an hour. Frankly I don't think I have the least of energy to go blowing into the huge fucking thing (I told you that I was antsy) and I had half the mind to cancel it. Except for the fact that I'm rather keen on Jazz Band (but just commitment phobic), I'd probably not even give a damn. Right now, I'm just too tired to care about anything else but sleep.
8ams really drain me out. And the main problem is that I can't sleep earlier than 1am. It's just my body clock. I lie in bed before 1am, but I take hours and hours to actually just fall asleep. Thanks, I screwed up my circadian rhythm and now it's going to give me hell before I get it back alright again.
Fuck.
I've got some vague assignment due tomorrow morning and it's giving me problems. I can't believe it. Something so simple giving me problems now. And I have a whole shitload of readings to do (3 books for the fucking group project due next week. I have to complete 3 fucking books by this weekend) just for UCV alone, and there are mandatory readings for Literature and Post-war Japanese film, and I have 2 movies to watch.
I know this all sounds like I'm having a nervous breakdown (at the start of the semester, what more), but honestly guys, it's the lack of sleep getting to me. I'm really really tired. And dehydrated. I can't find a fucking water fountain when I desperately need one. They're everywhere when I don't need those little buggers. Like wtf?
So anyway, on to happier things (before I throw myself into an hour of crazy baritone practice - I have Yoko Kanno's Sax Quartet to cheer me up slightly).
JS2216 or Post-war Japanese Film and Anime's introductory lecture. It was wonderful. I enjoyed every single moment of it. This is what I came to university for. I just felt pangs of nostalgia, of familiarity when Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence came on screen, then there was Tora-san (which is coincidentally Dr Lim's favourite comedic series, and one that I respect a great deal), and all the snapshots of Kurosawa's films. I'm a complete novice when it comes to identifying Japanese directors. I had a completely blase way of just watching films, enjoying it, and never really taking note of the key person who literally directs the whole plot and direction of the piece.
My first impression of Dr Lim is a good one. She clearly knows her stuff, and she very obviously loves what she's doing. It's really motivating. I have a whole slew of paper ideas - now all lost to the frazzled brain nerves.
