Soap bubbles and lemonade
1) Write a 6-7 page contextualized reading paper. For some reason, I chose to analyze a Petrarch poem (Riem Sparse 190) with a feminist/new historical lens. Egads! What's wrong with me?
2) Re-edit 2 essays for a final portfolio. This wouldn't take that much time, except I think my re-edit on one of the papers will involve heading in a new direction. Oops!
3) 2 Final Quizzes. One of which shouldn't be too bad. The other of which is going to be a pain since I still have to read "When Abortion Was A Crime" (this book is a crime! really dry 200 pages to get through) and bits of another book. Plus it involves hand-written short answers and an essay. We're a generation of laptop users, so this will be amusing.
4) A little more work on o-fic (which has been well received, huzzah!) and an analysis of my writing process (awkward)
5) Scrambling to arrange an internship for next semester. Please let something work out.
6) An extra credit report on the interpretative reading of The Giver ... which will also be posted as a blog once the assignment is handed in
I decided the extra essay wasn't worth three points. I think I've done well enough this semester, to not worry about whipping up 1K words about something I don't care about.
And with that, HELLO SUMMER! I haven't had one of you in a long time! I think I'd go into academia just so I could have summers off. Though, the work time must be doubly hard for all that time off.
Right, that just leaves the internships.
A whole new list coming up now, much of it involving cleaning. There are boxes worth of things I have forgotten I had and don't know why I thought were important enough to keep. Time to purge and start fresh.
Doing it all with a huge smile because I can feel like a kid and rejoice in the fact that it's summer and bubbles and mint lemonade sound like a brilliant plan.
Toodles!
