::twitches:: Must...do...Methods paper...research...due at noon tomorrow...

Okay, actually, it was due Tuesday, and through some astonishing feat of true dumbfuckery I didn't know about it. So now I have twice the work and Richardson thinking I'm a slacker. Which, y'know, I am, but I like to keep it on the downlow. As long as I turn in my pretty work, my professors do not need to know how long I put off doing it.

Except this time she totally DOES.

Grrr. And the real reason I'm so upset is because I'm afraid there aren't going to be any resources left at the library because EVERYBODY ELSE HAS WRITTEN THEIR FUCKING DRAFT BY NOW.

To go or not to go? That is the question.

Any decent college library should have multiple copies of the three different versions of Hamlet, right?

GOD. Noelle and I are doing practically the same topic so she's probably got all the relevant books and I don't know her e-mail and even if I did I would feel so incredibly moronic asking to borrow them just hours before the paper is due.

This may surpass the Hegel/alienation paper in terms of full-scale freakout. But that turned out a friggin' amazing 11-page essay, and I have no illusions about this one. Gertrude! Why is she important! How is she different in the three version of the play and WTF DOES THAT MEAN??!!

::mutters:: I hate Richardson. I hate Gertrude. I hate Shakespeare.

I HATE that I spent the day writing "Nail" and putting off this crap.

Seriously, it's a disease. I should be medicated for this.

I always do this. I know it. It's just that this time, it's different -- normally I can procrastinate myself into THE ZONE in which I write best, which is what I did with the Hegel paper. I'm sure I can whip up a not-entirely-terrible first draft about Gertrude. The difference is, I don't think I'm going to have any sources to do the goddamn research on which I'm basing the draft.

*WAIL*

Screw this. I will deal with it in the morning. If I can't find the sources, I can't find the sources -- a few hours aren't going to make a difference. I'm no less fucked if I go now that if I go tomorrow.

Oh, denial and justification. I should be a fucking politician.
Mood:: DESPAIR
Music:: myself flipping out

I don't know whether this will help you, but Project Gutenberg has both the First Folio (http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/gutbook/lookup?num=2265) edition and the Quarto (http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/gutbook/lookup?num=1122) edition of Hamlet available.

Afraid I can't help you too much on Gertrude, who seemed a bit forgettable to me. Good luck with the paper.
