jitw paper of doom

The JitW paper is proving impossible to write. Ben e-mailed me and asked if I had an argument. I asked "what's an argument? You mean that thing that I don't have in my thesis?" and went on to explain the many issues i'm having.

JitW is too tough to explain. there are so many intricate things that are fascinating to look at from an anthropological perspective

It's also hard to do the whole emic vs. etic thing. I'm very much in emic mode right now.

But I can't explain all of JitW in JitW terms. It's impossible.

I'm having trouble applying the anthropolgical theories we've been learning, especially since we're so anti-authoritarian at JitW.

I'm sure Ben is asleep by now if he didn't respond to the e-mail I sent at 12:35 am (or the ones at 1 and 1:15) his last e-mail was from 11:15ish, when I was off at starbucks, buying liquid sanity.

I think I'm going to have to give up for the night and get some sleep, so I don't die in class tomorrow. I'll try to explain things the best I can, and edit this thing for Thursday.

GM and I are buying possum yarn, because we found a place that sells it in less than bulk. It's kinda expensive, but it's supposed to be really soft.

And I'm meeting w/Ben tomorrow to discuss the paper, so I need a new draft by 10:30am tomorrow. I did ok explaining it in class, which is good.

And I'm incredibly tired. I might go to bed early and just wake up early for papering.

In other news, I'm overworked and underappreciated, except none of the work I'm doing right now is the kind that gets me appreciation, rather, it's my 2 papers due Thursday. I have no energy at all and I need to curl up into a ball, so I don't know if I'll get everything done in time.

And I haven't touched the thesis at all this week. Or the progress report. Or the grad school applications. So much for getting everything done.
