Sheesh, nothing like dressing for an interview to tell you how much you've let yourself go lately.  When was the last time I blowdried my hair nicely?  Can't even remember.  That's probably a bad sign ( Read more... )

And now I've stayed up too late.  Graded all my speeches and assessments, submitted my questions for 340, and wrote up my presentation for Women's Studies tomorrow (I'm explaining "fanfic" in five minutes - wish me luck ( Read more... )

My new favorite answer to Midterm Essay Question #3 (What are the four guidelines for informative speaking from Ch. 14?):
