"GAAAAAHHHH!!!" is the sound that my anxiety makes. That, and the sound of panicked sobs. I'm really not in a good place mentally. To be fair, though, I brought most of this upon myself. It's not that I was even procrastinating so much! I just feel like I've lost a bit of my motivation not only in this class, but for life in general. I blame college and thoughts of the future. They do not make me feel good. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, shall we? Let's go back to what we actually did this week:
The main focus of this week was pretty much "let's catch up on work guys, so we don't bombard Schoenborn with a mountain of stuff to grade" and the Tragedy essay. We read two more articles about tragedy that we related to Antigone, "The Burial at Thebes" and "Before the Law", both of which I loved. Both authors clearly expressed ideas that could be pulled out of the tragedy of Antigone, and it was really interesting getting their interpretations. If you want to read more about that, check out the Blogedy! It will be the last time I redirect you, I promise! To be quite honest, I would love to discuss my opinions here as well, but then Schoenborn would have to read them twice, and I would like to spare him the pain. (On a side note, I really like how the order of articles was arranged for this unit; we started out reading a story and then essays/ discussions that drew out the implications of those stories in today's world, which I found highly interesting.)
After the article reading was finished, we turned our focus towards the Tragedy paper. I am legitimately excited to write this paper; I have so many thoughts that I want to discuss! I only have two issues: one, Schoenborn is gone, so I cannot ask him about the specifics of the essay; two, I haven't completed the Tragedy blogs yet. You know, the ones that are supposed to help guide me in this essay. (I can feel your disapproving stare, Schoenborn. Please don't hate me.) Don't get me wrong, I have been thinking about everything that we read and discussed! I have things written down! It's just that their on paper instead of on my blog. Which is not where they're supposed to be.
This is the cause of my panic and anxiety. I have to write pretty much all of the Tragedy blogs and the Tragedy paper in a few days. Again, no one to blame but myself. * long sigh * Sometimes, I really dislike me. Why do I bring this upon myself?!?! Anyways, that's why I have been crying on the inside. Hopefully, it will all work out in the end.
