Thursday

I've been working on this paper for so long that it took me several hours to realize that I had written "oracular pathology" rather than "ocular pathology." This would have been a very different argument indeed if the former were correct.



In other news, spring break trip to Palm Desert cancelled.





So that was one of the reasons to finish my paper by tomorrow, as opposed to Saturday or Sunday, the actual due date. That, and never having to write the word "pathology" again. Oh, glum. Today was the first day this semester where I really honestly thought I might not be able to make it at this school. I've been in the library working on this paper for three hours and I'm still not done; I left myself with 1 (one) page to write b4 I went home last night. It is taking me forever to accomplish this. I finished my reading for my afternoon conference right before class. I still had twenty pages of reading for my English class to do when I went to conference, though I participated anyway (said something worthwhile, even).* I am not going to make it. Maybe I'm smart enough (though I doubt that, even), but I'm not efficient enough.




*And I didn't preface each comment in class with "Well, I feel...", "It struck me...", "For me...", "This touched me because..." Have confidence in your ideas, e'erybody! Don't sound so wishy-washy.
