Okay, packing is DONE. I stayed up all night loading shit into the car and mom drove off with it at nine in the morning, leaving me to freak out about my essay in peace.

I have my sources. Not many, but according to the teacher three will suffice: an eyewitness account of the July Revolution--that would be Dumas--a general history of it, and a third source of our choosing. I have a general outline for the first half (which is going to be about how Dumas's account resembles a novel as much as a nonfiction work of memoir/history) and vague ideas about the second half (how the novelistic approach compares with a general history and another participant's bare-bones account of the action). Now I just need to sit down and produce seven pages of double-spaced bullshit in passable French.

Yeah I know you guys probably aren't terribly interested in my schoolwork, but this is LJ, it's meant to be self-indulgent and navel-gazing. Consider this the nerdy version of, say, posting eleventy billion pictures of my cat.

Edit: It's almost eleven pm and I'm a little under halfway done with the paper. Looks like I'm going to be staying up all night two nights in a row. Fuck my life.
