Time is SO not on my side
I can't believe its Dec. When the HELL did that happen?
I've been working on my Capstone for days now. Sort of. Well, it's been days by numbers but since I'm either in transit or at work for a good, oh, 12 hours a day and try to sleep about 6 hours, that leaves me 6 or so hours in the past few days to write. I'm at 171920 pages. Only, oh, 1815 pages to go. I want to go to 40; but I'll settle with 35. The range is between 25-35, but I'm going to have some long block quotations, so that means my count goes up to 27-35. I just wish I had more time, but so much of it is taken up by work.
Of course, I also have to do my paper revision for my class. Of course he wants me to use bios, and my craptastic college had no bios on Einstein. Nor did any Border's in the Boston area. Well, they did, but they were all for 5 year olds. So I had to buy two, but they arrived on monday...and of course I haven't had time to read them b/c I've been working on my capstone.
Thank god I have a plan B. And C.
I just needed to take a break since I am currently in between the shark infested waters of Panic Attackia and Nervosa Breakdownium. Emotionus Breakodonia is also showing up off the port bow. See, end of semester. This is why I can never enjoy the holidays. I'm so friggin numb by the time they hit.
Oh, ugh, back to work.
Oh, once more into the breach.
And really I should not be having a fit over the fact that the accepted plural for census is censuses, even though my decade of Latin tells me it is, in fact, censi. Damn you, academia, damn you. Also, I can so tell that the sarcasm is starting to bleed over into my capstone:
Historians of immigration history in America tend to disagree with the assumptions of Whiteness scholars. Despite the fact that the history produced by the Whiteness scholars can delve into Revisionism, Immigration Historians do not often agree with terms such as assimilation and the idea of the melting pot, tossed salads, stews or various other food analogies used to try and explain the complex make-up of American society.
---by me, and my overworked brain. And honest to god, you would not believe how many kitchen related analogies there are for American society.
EDIT: The Tudors you so fail at history and Latin. A) Henry VIII did not write "Greenesleeves." B. No matter which way you cut it, which, with the way you are trying, that little latin phrase of yours does not equal "No one can resist love" in Latin. First off, you'd have to change Amor into an accuastive as opposed to a Nominative, and Nemo tends to be used for no one, not Omnia, which means all, again, in the acc, which, for Henry's little bit would need to be nom, as in his phrase "No one" or rather "All" is doing the action, not having the action done to them (And Amor/Love is therefore recieving the action not doing it. Also, depending on the idea of the plural, or at least the you plural, the verb would also have to change) . Yet I love how Katherine of Aragon is being protrayed and therefore will keep letting you play in the background as I type.
