Week 6

So as of yesterday I spent all day studying and doing school work. I have my first essay due in 2 weeks. Remember, its the one grade for the entire class. I talked with my prof during his office hours and he gave me a few tips. After our film screening class where we watched Odd Man Out (1947), I watched a 2nd film, The Gentle Gunman (1952), both in preparation of the essay I'll write: The Irish have been frequently represented within British commercial cinema as having an insatiable appetite for violence, while, simultaneously, political violence has been dehistoricised.

Deep huh? So i've watched a couple of movies for my paper, and tonight I will look up any books I can check out tomorrow so that I can have something to actually write on and cite.. Oh boy. I'm very unprepared for this paper. I havent done any 'citing' work since high school, so since about 2001! Trying to get into all of this again is a little scary. I didnt write formal papers in college and I feel behind here. So that's another thing tonight that I will do - look up our correct writing form here... oh boy....

So other than looking up sources to use for my paper and what the acceptable writing styles are here at Trinity, I will also finish the last act of my George Bernard Shaw play and will read the handout my Cinema prof gave me, which the rest of the class gets tomorrow but i am so special I got one early - plus it will help with my essay topic! ha...

That's my night
