I'm feeling pretty productive. I worked up a resume for the Weitzman Agency last night as well as brainstorming for the cover letter. I got an official guide to writing cover letters from the Career Services office today, so after I finish writing my paper and read Maxwell I'll start writing/formatting the cover letter ( Read more... )

I completely forgot how awesome Plato is.

I am so glad we're reading Cratylus for language, I think I'll actually have stuff to say in class tomorrow for once! Also, Katherine H.'s senior oral is going to be rather helpful. :D

Re-read the paper Mr. Goldberg handed back. It's... not as bad as I feared. It does do what I intended it to do, mostly, and even tells the reader what the things I pieced out actually mean for the play. There's a paragraph that should have been gutted, and I probably should have at least mentioned Teiresias's follow-up lines, but I got distracted ( Read more... )

Thanks to all the people who commented on my last entry- I actually didn't read the comments until after I had handed in my question, but I am pleased to learn I wasn't totally off-track. I ended up going with this:

The Old Testament God is different from many other gods we’ve read about (such as Zeus, for example) because he was not generated and ( Read more... )

Language class today was terrible, as I am terrified of Mr. Goldberg and apparently cannot think at the same level as the rest of the class and at the same pace as the class thinks. We just toss around these incredibly heavy questions the entire time and I'm like "omg watch where you're throwing that holy crap why is everything moving so fast" ( Read more... )

I was parsing my Oidipous this morning when I came across the entry for "meno" in the lexicon. As a verb, it means, among other things, "to stay or remain in a condition" or "to be unchanged".

COINCIDENCE? I think not!

Wtf. Everyone's lives: they are so full of drama. Partially because of this, I have resolved to clear up the last bit of my personal drama sometime this week. I think. Maybe if I say I'll do it on the internet I will actually do it ( Read more... )

Morning classes were canceled due to icy weather- unfortunately, afternoon classes were not, so I didn't have what would have been a pretty awesome lab class (we were going to talk about temperature, specifically heat- oh, the irony) but I will have to have math and language. I'm now prepared for math (I want to do proposition 1 in book 12, since ( Read more... )

Luckily Mr. Kidd knows that we can't write good papers yet and I think he will be merciful. Also maybe lines like "Clearly, undying horses are an asset on the battlefield, as long as you keep them separate from their lesser brethren." will entertain him.

Shoot. NEVER LET ME WRITE A PAPER ABOUT MAGICAL TALKING PONIES EVER AGAIN.

I hate my language class because I CANNOT determine the pace. It goes both too fast and too slowly for me and I can't predict when either situation will happen. I did all my homework a week before it was officially assigned, but took longer than everyone else in the class to do the quiz, because for some silly reason I took it seriously (I also ( Read more... )
