Things not to do while being pissed off about international politics:

-Listen to A Perfect Circle's remix of Pet, Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums.

-Argue with a professor's lecture on The Lady of Shalott in the margins of my notes until I can barely make them out for all the point-for-point rebuttal. I am maybe a little bit of a nerd.

-Try to write a coherent Middlemarch paper about how George Eliot forces the reader into a passive role of a judgmental society without descending into a rant. (I spent five pages analyzing the first few sentences of the book to prove this point and by the end I grew weary of defending it.)

-Work. Which I will have to go to in ten minutes and which I am dreading.

-Post to LJ. Heh.

The Lady of Shalott is my favorite poem. Fortunately, my teacher agreed with me in my analysis. I hope you end up showing your professor a thing or two.

Hehe, I haven't talked to him yet, but I think I might stop by his office hours and have a chat. He's this amazingly brilliant man, and it's a good excuse to sit down and talk with him.

Isn't it an amazing poem? It can be read on so many different levels, in so many different ways, and come to so many different conclusions, and on top of that it's just beautiful.
