tarigwaemirSherman Fairchild, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Whoa, it's cold outside. ::shivers::
I'm finally finished with my history paper. Doesn't it just figure that starting three days earlier than I usually do has absolutely no effect on how soon I finish writing (i.e. this morning at 8:30). What it does affect, however, is my general level of satisfaction with what I wrote. I don't think I've been so happy with a paper in a long time. That is not to say that the actual finished product is any better than it usually is (I think my argument got a little sloppy at the end) but at least I feel self-fulfilled. Oh well. I also noticed that nearly everyone else who has submitted their papers so far has also written on de Beauvoir and Sartre, but then again, what can you expect when you choose to write on a major feminist thinker?
Of course, now it means I have the rest of today to finish all the readings for the developmental biology presentation on Monday. Oh joy. Well, at least reading is not as agonizing a process as writing. Plus, I think writing the research proposal for the NSF application last month gave me a good crash course in huge scientific paper marathons. ^_^
Hm. When am I going to have any time to finish reading Lévi-Strauss this weekend? We're starting the structuralism and post-structuralism unit in history, which I've been anticipating all semester. Also, the second Chinese philosophy paper is due on the 18th...guess who is going to be writing her Yuletide submission at the last minute on Monday? (I still have no idea for a plot! Argh!)
