Before boredom does. Seriously, is there anything worse than having to write a 'reflexive report' on a project you hated doing in the first place, for a tutor who you're pretty sure thinks you're stupid and also wrong, and doesn't even know your name after 10 weeks.
Because if there is, I'd really like to hear it, since this is *destroying my will to live*. I'd rather be writing replicator coding with the Wraith... Well, possibly not, since I guess it might eat me if I got it wrong, which I probably would, since I know nothing about coding. But the point is similar, if currently somewhat lost.
I'm glad that class is over anyway - I never felt like it was a safe space where I could disagree with people, and it always seemed like when I made a differing point from the consensus, people took it deeply personally, and with not much respect for people's right to disagree. I'm so glad that tutor's not taking my gender module next semester, which I thought she might be, though I suspect quite a few of the people from that class will be.
See, this is the problem with having a minority opinion - you can never just give it and have people nod along, you always have to explain, usually at great length, what you mean, and then defend it against a bunch of people who basically think you're wrong because you're not giving a majority view. And sometimes it just gets so tiring - like getting asked the same questions every time someone realises I'm gay. I could so live without another ten weeks of it next semester, especially with a group of people who seem to think my disgreeing with them says something terrible about my moral character.
On the positive side, however:
Yuletide fic is done and submitted!
SGA Santa fic is done and submitted!
Under Mistletoe fic is within 5000 words (I hope) of being done, although it's currently hovering at around 20,000 words, unless my ability to add up has deserted me (not impossible) since I'm handwriting it. Which may turn out to be a mistake when I have to type it up.
SG1 Jubilee fic... has a plot. Well, a plot outline. All right, it has a beginning and an end and a vague idea of what goes in between. That's a good start though, right?
Also![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
gatecreation is looking for more people to sign up for their minor character spring fest. Fics aren't due till the end of March, which is more than three months away... even fics that mysteriously spiral to 20,000 words can be written before then.
No offers of salvation from the accursed report then? Oh well, worth a try.
