Hello. Here is where I went to Amsterdam. Now I'm in Boston- trying to be a writer. I am 23.
Currently reading:
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it : )
I was working with a really tight deadline so I wasn’t able to use these books for my final, but I’ve saved the information and the story is definitely I want to return to in the near future and continue researching!
Thanks again : )
Wish I had my shit together so I could hit up 2 Days in New York and some of the other awesome offerings.
Fail.
Assignment: Write a 5 page case study of a student paper.
Me: 1 page, that just about sums it all up…. now what can I talk about?
EDIT: “The next sentence moves away from the texts themselves to how the texts were taught, seemingly back in-line with the proposition as it stands, but the detour the first sentence of the second paragraph takes is problematic and causes confusion for the reader as it appears the paper is at cross purposes with itself.”
Nearly done with page 2, just chugging right along.
EDIT EDIT: DONE! My senioritis is SO bad. I want to cry from the brief happiness afforded me by completing one assignment from a list of like seven that are due between now and next Wednesday.
Just found out the story on which I was working so diligently last night doesn’t have to be turned in until the 18th, but the professor emailed to say I could still turn it in on the 11th if I’d like…
I love grad school. It is easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made… I think. That being said,
I hated my freshman writing composition class, I hate learning how to teach freshman comp by partaking in what is basically meta-freshman comp, and I hate reading academic articles.
I’m 113 words off of the 750 word minimum for this essay exercise, but as this is meta-freshman comp I just changed the font to Verdana and added extra spacing between paragraphs. I thought about putting the punctuation in 14 pt font, but that seems a tad advanced for freshman comp.
Today’s rant is sponsored by the Elbow-Bartholomae Debate.
grad school problems
even the characters i like i end up hating at some point.
