Taking a short break from, “Northanger Abbey and the Technical Difficulty of Philosophical Discourse in a Literary Context”
Which is the title of the research paper I am working on right now…the one that is, currently, about 7 pages long and needs to get to 13 by Thursday, which is, all things considered doable. Of course, I also have a 5 page paper to revise, and another 5 page paper to write, by the same time…so that’s not so good. Plus I take a final that night.
As an undergrad I would blame my current state of affairs on too much napping and video games, now I have “real” excuses like work and a kid. But I tend to work better under pressure, which is why I’ll have an ulcer by the time I’m 30, no doubt.
In case any one is, I don’t think curious is the right word, a glutton for punishment maybe…here’s a paper that I wrote about Emily Dickinson where I site both Douglas Adams and George Lucas as sources (oh yeah, I rock out with my c**k out)…and here’s one more on T.S. Eliot, though it doesn’t have any good citations…feel free to steal either to your heart’s content…

Hmm, ulcer by the time you’re 30? You don’t have too much longer to wait then. Of course I lost my money in the pool because I put down by 28 you’d have that ulcer.

28 huh, sorry about that…it was a pretty stressful year…just not stressful enough I guess, well, here’s to 2008 and giving myself enema’s!

I’ll trade you translating a two page message from French to English, and then writting a 3 page response, and translating that to French. On a funny side note I was handed a brochure in French, and I made it through the whole thing without realizing that it had been written in French.
