Tomorrow! Coming soon! In fewer than 9 hours!
All right, so I've sent Dr Hilliker the physical PowerPoint on Chinese weather maybe an hour or two ago. I'm not very concerned about Political Science since I've already looked into Soviet writers and made a list mostly including those higher in the alphabet and tomorrow is just a general review for the Friday Chinese/Soviet exam, though there IS the problem I don't very naturally take to Russian, or at least I don't find it as easy as Chinese, so right now I have been attempting to revise the Communism midterm for Tuesday.
N.B.: Chinese is not easy. It is just not as hard for me as Russian, which I've been studying for the past five years and still don't really understand.
(I hope to make it to the Russian market on Philly's Bustleton Avenue on Saturday! I really do. I missed Kristina Orbakaite's concert which was over there, yes, but I don't like her as much as the t.A.T.u. ladies anyway so that's okay.)
First and foremost, I converted my citations entirely to footnotes, because in history I take to Chicago style format as Dr Chien liked that better, as anyway it's not really English which does MLA. My first submission was mixed parenthetical and footnote with no clear explanation of why some were in one format.
I don't need to be THAT concerned since I'm meeting with the Writing Centre assistants to ensure it gets done tomorrow at 12:30. But I can't just assume the Writing Centre can do all my work for me!
STILL I want to try and make it much better than at first.
Dr Kirschenbaum wants me to remove my context mention of FDR and Woodrow Wilson.
Wait, I don't have to remove Scott went about his Soviet labour at the same time as the presidencies of FDR and Woodrow Wilson, I think that is an entirely valid historical connection! True, I didn't glean that directly from the readings, it took me a bit of time to note the dates and find the pages in the multitudes of textbooks lying around this house that said this, but that is something I know from what Dr Polsky taught me. I'm going to fight for that still if she challenges it. It's important. I've been studying International Relations at the same time!
Hmm, where did I get that Lenin lived in the Soviet Union most his life? He spent five years in the non-Russian part of Europe! See? Hmm, it seems he's not spent his entire life in the domestic Soviet Union. It might be another Ph.D. topic there, and I'm not really that interested.
:/ Unsatisfactory thesis. Gah. Oh well, I guess I'll discuss that issue tomorrow, though that's an extremely major point. How can I present a paper with no sound thesis?
