Up in ur Class, Explaynin ur Theeriz
Today has been good, but stressful. I finished my midterm essay today and clocked out at 18 pages of theory. I never thought I would be able to write this much and actually remain coherent.
In addition to turning in my midterm, I gave a presentation on sexual script theory as elucidated by John Gagnon. Not only did I prepare a lecture complete with slides, I also crafted a clever presentation, I started my presentation by taking off my shoes and climbing onto the conference table. The professor looked at me like I was insane, which was precisely the reaction I wanted. I launched into a discussion of learned conduct and explicit versus implicit social scripts. Confused?
Explicit: Raise your hand before speaking. We're told that repeatedly as children.
Implicit: Don't stand on the table. I don't think anyone in my life has ever said that to me, yet we all somehow know it to be unacceptable conduct in nearly any situation involving a table.
Despite my exhaustion, the presentation went incredibly well and I even got a nod from the same professor who wrote "Good Try" on my first theory paper.
Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta. It will feel even better when I finish my other term paper proposal tonight and code my interview tomorrow. After that? BEER.
