Going to be a long night

[liaku]

So, uh, given my progress on this essay thus far (and the common essay I need to finish--not necessarily perfect, but finish), I'm going to be up until 4AM or so.  Maybe I'll push to 5AM.  Given that I don't have to wake up until 11AM, that'd still get me six hours of sleep.  I can operate for a good amount of time (long enough for one class + a couple of hours anyway) with less sleep than that, so maybe 6AM or so would work too.

Actually, I'm going to admit that this essay is a lot easier than I thought it'd be.  I just can't focus on it.

And it seems like everyone loves Rebecca except me.  It's gotten to the point where I'm beginning to think I should read the book again, especially since the first time I read it was, what, when I was thirteen?  Fourteen?  Mind you, I still hate suspense in my novels, and while I could likely appreciate at least the writing more now, I don't think I'll find the characters any more interesting than I did before.  I guess once I watch the DVDs of the musical, I'll see if I feel like giving the book another shot.

Let's just say I found that "I" accepted very quickly Maxim's description of her evilness without that much concrete examples. Of course, since she had been indulging in all those jealous fantasies about Rebecca's perfection and Maxim's undying love for her, she was happy to accept anything as long as it meant Maxim loved her and not Rebecca. The story is certainly an interesting study in jealousy.

Yay for progress! Good luck with the rest of it!
