It is entirely possible that I've spent too much time watching/thinking about British media. My brain has developed an accent.

Next Monday: DO NOT WANT. *clings to current life of sloth* I looked at the syllabus for one of my lit classes last night and then sobbed quietly. Two five-page-minimum research papers, two 12-15 minute presentations incorporating "extensive use of audio/visual materials," and a 12-15 page final paper with footnote-y hell. And that would be on top of two upper-level bio courses, another lit course, and my nemesis, Organic Chemistry. So what I'm thinking is that I want to not have a nervous breakdown, and in order to make that happen? The lit class is going to have to go.

Bleh. I feel all stupidly guilty over it, like I should be pushing myself harder. But the fact is, it's unnecessary: even dropping this class and picking up something equivalent next fall, that final semester will still be 15 credit hours at the most. It wouldn't be any inconvenience, I wouldn't be screwing myself over by doing this, and I tend to operate on an all-or-nothing basis when it comes to class. If I have that much work, Nothing stands up and shimmies enticingly.

...This is all very dull to people who aren't me, I'm sure. Um. *dances for your amusement*?

Man, my brain does that all the time. And not just accents, speech patterns, too.

It's got to the point that I'm surprised every time I open my mouth and my real accent comes out.

It's always fun when I use the wrong accent out loud.

I end up using this half-assed version of the wrong accent. Odd things have started happening with my vowels.

Totally unrelated to this post, but seeing it made me remember: apparently I dreamed about LJ last night, and part of the dream was that I saw your username with a strikethrough and thought "Wow, that drunk post embarrassed her so much that she DELETED HER JOURNAL! I am sad about that!"

So I'm glad it was a dream. ;)

HEE. Your subconscious thinks I have way more shame than I actually do.

*clings to LJ*

That's pretty much me, only with Canadian media. I have to watch that I don't start talking like that because it would be kind of embarrassing (especially, y'know, when I'm ACTUALLY IN CANADA).

I pick up accents and expressions from everything I really get into, fannishly. This has gone on for so long that I, being a non-native English speaker, am pretty sure that I use some mangled British/American/Canadian/a long while ago even Australian version of the language that I can no longer entirely control. And I'm no longer sure about whether some words are from American or British English. (4 times "long" in 3 sentences...I'm also illiterate. :P)

Er, those of us that currently have a dropout status, i.e. me, probably don't have a right to give academical advice, but still, frying your brain because of a class irrevelant to your speciality wouldn't be very useful.
