Sooo, no blogs for a long time since I was too busy enjoying myself over winter break and over-did it, now I have piles of crap work to deal with.

I smartly spent 3 hours looking over useless WC3 storyline and characters online yesterday, so I'm pretty much out of time. Here's where I stand:
1) I missed math lecture today. I will have to go to office hour at 2 this afternoon and turn in homework, and teacher should be okay with it, I hope. Have to ask him what I missed in lecture for sure.
2) Physics have a lab this week, and it is vital for me to attend lab session from 4-6 this afternoon, maybe even do prelab questions. *ugh*
3) Literature essay is due tomorrow at 3pm, I am on my 5th draft at the moment (that's good u say) but I underwent many thesis changes so I am still writing it with efforts (not merely checking grammars and be done)
4) Philosophy essay is due tomorrow at 10am and I am yet to start. Pass no Pass class though, I'll slack it and half assed essay would do.
5) Physics homeworks due online 7pm tomorrow, I have not looked too deep into it yet, but should manage in 2 hours today w/ office hour from 1-2 today.
6) Physics midterm next Tuesday and I am yet to start reviewing

So... let me spent a smart 5 minutes here to list a plan for myself, but don't spent too long as I need time to actually perform the duties as well.

Priority:
Literature - Physics - Philosophy

So for Today:

Now-12:30 < Work on Literature essay and complete rough draft, be fast and don't worry about details atm.

12:30-2 < Go to physics office hour by GSI and do all the physics homework due Friday there.

2-3:00 < Go to math office hour and apologize to the professor and turn in homework and ask him what I've missed in lecture.

3-4:00 < Finish prelab, and if have time, get some thought on the philosophy paper

4-6:00 < Physics lab, try to finish early

6-8:00 < Quick sup and tune up my Essay

8-10:00 < Further tuning of Essay with some tutor I could scavenge in the academic service place, and post a copy of my essay on teamliquid blog to seek further grammatical help.

10-11:00 < Play guitar for relaxation, and a nap

11:00-2am < B.S. a philosophy paper, sleep.

Tomorrow:

8am-10:00 < Fine tune the B.S. philosophy paper to a C+, B- level.

10-11am < Turn in philosphy paper in class, and liberally nap during it.

11:00-12 < Eat something descent, some guitar, possibly another nap.

12:00-3pm < Further fine tune literature essay to perfection.

3-4:00pm < Turn in essay in literature class, and enjoy a brief relief.

4-5:00pm < Enter answers to physics questions online and submit the results for homework credit.

Friday afternoon and Weekends:

In planning, but this will be mostly physics reviews and solidifying understanding in the concepts and better problem solving.


Okay I'll get to it, reporting back to you guys at 8pm tonight with an essay!

Edit1: I wish to share with you what I have for my essay so far.

Alrite I've done about 50% of my essay rough draft by now haha, it is slower than I anticipated but I must move on for physics now. I will not post my essay here and hopefully I get some criticisms on the developments of my ideas.

So here's the essay in its half awesomeness xD, the prompt ask the question how does the American poet, Walt Whitman constructs the nation as a community and ask us to test some of Balibar's theory in his essay "The nation Form" on Whitman's poetries. (I know it is rather dull, as class is on american literature, writing of the civil war, but I manage to have some fun doing it)

+ Show Spoiler +

“[The formation of the nation] all fit into an identical pattern: that of the self-manifestation of the national personality.”
Etienne Balibar, The Nation Form: History and Ideology

Literatures, particularly the ones written in the formation of the nation, play an important role not only in helping the people at that time identify with the national spirit, but also influences the future generations, who can fall back on these works and perceive them as “traditions lived as the trace of an immemorial past (even when they have been fabricated … in the recent past)”. Walt Whitman, a literary figure in the 1800, realizes his importance in the formation of America. He expresses what he thinks as the national spirit in his literatures in hope to construct a coherent community. Before the civil war, Whitman sports an optimistic, confident outlook on the nation’s spirit: The “poetical nature [of America]”, he bolstered in his 1855 preface to The Leaves of Grass, is simultaneously “largest and most stirring” and “tame and orderly”. By tracing back to the traditions developed since the American Revolution war, where the common American people fought and triumphed over the ruling caste of England, Whitman invokes the national spirit as the liberation of the common people and “always most in the common people”. However, Whitman’s confidence in America’s capacity for this ideal was cast into doubt by the civil war. The civil war, “a conflict between the passions and paradoxes of one and the same identity”, agitates Whitman as he attempts balance the importance of the nation’s ideal against the cost of this ideal in bloodsheds. This doubt lingers even after the war, for Whitman confesses in his 1872 preface to leaves of grass that he is “not so certain” of his previous (opinions before the Civil War) “imperious conviction” about the nation. One can infer that although troubled by the carnage of the Civil war, Whitman settles with the conclusion that such conflict is unavoidable to preserve the national ideals and to preserve the union under these ideals as “one and the same identity”.
To form America as a singular, coherent community, Whitman must construct America as “a form of community instituted by the nation distinguished specifically from other historical communities.” To fulfill this requirement, Whitman distinguish U.S. from European nations by elevating the common virtues to a sacred importance, a virtue developed since the Revolution war, as opposed to the traditional ideal that the governing church-state being sacred.
“Though, thou, the Ideal Man,
Fair, able, beautiful, content, and loving,
Complete in body and dilate in spirit,
Be though my God.”

Whitman expresses his worship(?) to the ideal man in this stanza. In doing so, he lends people confidence in their own significance and sacredness. This contrasts the orthodox notion of religion in Europe, where the central church and monarchy, chosen by god himself, should exert their rulings upon the people. Where traditional European relies on “monarchical power became autonomous and sacred” to draw their national spirit, Whitman uses the ideal of the Revolutionary war, the overturning of monarchical power to the power of the commons, as the source of national identity. This idea is further supported in his 1855 preface, where Whitman writes, “There will soon be no more preists. Their work Is done.” To Whitman, the priest embodies precisely the ruling church-state that America fought hard to overthrown, and the idea of a centralized religion dictating the common people should be banished from America. Instead, religion shall be “the priests of man” and the people should no longer need an authoritative figure, being sacred themselves. This technique exemplifies Balibar’s theory on forming the “imaginary” of the country, for he states the importance of “[a community] recognizes itself in advance… as ‘its own’ in opposition to other states” before the actual proclamation of “the institution of the state”. Whitman correctly anticipates the underlying notion that the nation has developed that the commoners and their liberation from the ruling caste should be held in religious importance.
Whitman’s ideal that the liberation of common is put to the test by the civil war. In the 1855 preface, Whitman sees liberty as “sight of numberless brothers answering our equal friendship and calling no man master”. Whitman’s distain toward slavery, marking it as “put back a helpless innocent person into the grip of the grippers”, surfaces with the ideology of the Civil War. Whitman is torn between the importance of the ideal he has extrapolated for the nation and the brutal realities of the war fought in the name of this ideal.

If you can actually follow your schedules then props to you. Every time I've attempted some semblance of time organization, it has always resulted in epic failure.

a ~30-40 minute nap is ideal because it refreshes your body, and doesnt leave you feeling groggy because you didnt enter into deep sleep.
