Sniffly girl is sniffly.

I've probably killed a tree with the amount of tissues I've been using. D: The 2-3hours of sleep for the past week daily has taken its toll at the worst time ever. Good news: I passed my 19th century midterm! AMAZINGLY. Haha. Considering the kind of questions asked, it's a wonder that I actually managed to answer any question! Bad news: I'll probably fail my Romanticism midterm. Nasty MCQs are nasty.

I'm off to schedule my work due and like, try to sleep earlier so that I don't sneeze at every conjecture during my presentation. Supposed to do a broad overview on the Victorian novel but I ended up touching briefly on nostalgia and how the child is represented. (Why? Because I'll be tackling Alice and Great Expectations for the term paper and well, I might as well start some researchin'.)

Did you use Jameson's work on nostalgia?

Ah nope! What does he say about nostalgia?

[zerotonin.livejournal.com]

Mainly that nostalgia is a selective reappropiration (sp) of the past, and is a reaction to the alienating effects of modernity. Also that people need not to have experienced the decades that nostalgia invokes in order to like it. Simulacra, y'see. Present images of these past ages are cribbed from media from that age.
