SCIENCE!

Nov 09, 2008 12:56

I'm supposed to be doing my homework, but I'd rather not (c'mon, you guys, I have a Chinese midterm, give me a break :P), so instead, I'm going to write about evolution. One of my classes this year is an upper-division biology class, Experimental Ecology & Evolution (E3, for short, and I love it more than any class ever), which is giving me uppity ( Read more... )

Devon, I'm all right with argument, and - lest you accuse me of failing to reply - entirely willing to answer, (once I've finished studying for my midterm, since I think this is going to take a while).

My apologies for the losses of temper. I have a few things going on right now that have me a tad on edge.

Oh, and I forgot, with regards to the critique: I actually have a new draft of the short story almost done after Karina's critique. I'll send it along as soon as I can.

I like that view-- it is a difference of cause, not effect. If I go outside and say, "It's raining," I don't care too much if the guy next door says, "Yeah, God's crying for the school in Haiti," as long as he doesn't say, "No, it's sunny out. Why aren't you wearing a tank top ( ... )
