    how did one of you end up so much more smooth than the other

    is it some kind of deaf person situation where one half of your twin-unit suffered a debilitating goofiness and the other had to become smoother in order for you both to survive

    it's been alright

    I had a meeting with my professor this morning and he liked my new batch of pages

    basically it's been weird trying to find the right line between not talking about my thesis enough and mentioning it every paragraph for forty pages

    I wrote one a couple months ago during my last quarter of college. It was 25 pages and from a professor who almost never gave out A's on papers I got a huge A on it (including a note that if I expanded it he'd love to read it as a book).

    you know what's awful

    sitting down for a test when the people behind you are reviewing with each other

    and they're not getting the information right

    I think one of the most uncomfortable tests I have ever taken was the morning after Saint Patrick's Day. It was the final for the class and everyone was just hungover as all hell. Our professor walked in with a huge stack of papers and commented, "Well don't you all look lively." He then slammed the stack of paper on his desk and began to laugh.

    But I ended up doing fairly well on that final exam so...

    the futility of self-redemption in the eyes of God in the novels of O'Connor

    my professor is the O'Connor scholar here at GCSU where she went to school and runs the Flannery O'Connor review so he's a huge help when it comes to picking out good critics to assassinate

    I mean, I am tempted to try and write something like this as a purely academic pursuit.

    I just don't think there are any professors who would take it seriously.

    Also, I'm not sure if I'd be able to pull it off.

    Then again, the moral quandary of whether or not Superman can be considered the best of humanity because he's not human seems like it'd make for an interesting philosophy paper, and one that I could actually write.

    Too bad I'm not a philosophy major.

    In philosophy you can write on anything, all that matters is the sell/pitch.

    Because showing anything less than proper reverence to God on basic cable would incite the deeply embedded theological rage of the Midwest, inciting a riot that would consume the entire continent in bloody carnage.

    Frame it in the context of examining modern myth, along with Star Wars and LOTR. Compare it to ancient myth/theology. What themes are the same? What themes are different? What do these differences say about the cultures that created them?

    I really really don't want to take Dance History and Appreciation so I am scrambling to find anything else I can take so I can drop it. I think I am going to need to crash some courses, this is ridiculous; I don't want to pay to read about ballet or tribal dance when youtube exists.

    do i sort a bibliography by chronological order as mentioned in the paper, by alphabetical order (title of source), or by alphabetical order (title of author) when the instructor did not make this clear in any way?

    e: alphabetical by author seems like the most logical way so i'm just gonna go with that
    my in text citations are putting the author-date in at the end of the sentence so that's how you would look it up anyway i suppose

    Man, I was supposed to present last week despite my not having finished my presentation, but got out of it because we ran out of time.

    Now it's due tomorrow and I've still barely started.

    On the upside, it's only a 15 minute long powerpoint presentation.

    so I've got my SAT results back

    they are not as bad as I thought they'd be

    I dare even say that they are not bad at all

    not sky high, but definitely above the average

    enough for me to study what I want, in any case

    I am ok with this

    and being ok with this feels so good
