That's all I have left in this summer break, and very little academic work to show for it. Yes, I spent a lot of time recovering my good health. Yes, I needed to relax. But it's probably time to kick my own butt again.
I started by ridding myself of Tumblr and Twitter. I did so because I realized two things in relation to those media sites.
Twitter realization: no one cares what's happening to me in 140 characters or less. If Tina Fey doesn't tweet, neither should I.
Tumblr realization: I realized instead of spending so much time re-blogging quotes about how I love to read, I should probably just be reading instead.
With those distractions out of the way, my academic goals for the next month are:
1. Read all of "Will in the World". Take notes.
2. Read "Love's Labour's Lost". Take notes.
3. Read all of "A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599". Take notes.
4. Work on my "Cuddleslut" piece.
5. Pour over Aristotle's Poetics again. Take more notes.
6. Read a couple more Marjorie Garber essays.
These are modest goals, I just need to take them as seriously as the movies we've been making at camp. Considering most of the movies involve cows, this shouldn't be too hard.
But alack, it's always harder than it should be. Especially if your boyfriend just got a Hulu Plus account, and all you want to do is watch the first season of Once Upon a Time.
