I just finished my last exam. *clings to her desk and her childhood* Noooo! Don't make me grow up! I don't wanna be an adult! I'll be good! I promise! Just don't make me go out into the big, scary world and do something productive!

One exam over and done with. That would be my linguistics exam. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't do so well with the fill-in-the blanks but the short answer essays should make up for that. My prof also returned the inquiry papers to us. I earned an 18/20 on the oral presentation and a 74/80 on the written paper, which comes ( Read more... )

It's the weekend before finals and you know what that means! Procrastination party! Eh. Maybe I'll do it later ( Read more... )

I finally finished my inquiry paper. teadragon, was it you who wanted to read it? And if so, do you still want to? It's something like six pages long, so I'm not posting it here. Drop me an e-mail address and I'll send it as an attachment. Just as an FYI, it's not a traditional research paper, it's a report on my research. It feels incomplete to me.

I'm the only English major on either side of my family, which was kind of disappointing until I remembered that nearly everyone else on my mother's side is in some sort of science field. This is absolutely awesome while I write "Not With a Bang," my sci-fi story. What happens when character A gets shot in area B? Call up the sister and father. ( Read more... )

I just learned that mourning doves are Michigan's official bird of peace. *gags* I'm debating on whether or not I should leave the paragraph under the cut in or not; I'm running out of information to make my paper long enough. As it is, it may be too short.

What a blah day. We had snow, but it was all gone by the time I ventured to the cafeteria to find grease food. My wrist has been acting up again, so I'm typing with my smaller brace. It's proving to be a challenge, so I may look for a typing brace this weekend. Or, rather, Wednesday or Sunday because there is no way in hell I am venturing out ( Read more... )

My portfolio presentation went well. I had to explain a few things as I went along, but I forgot the major thing, which is that Speak is in first person, so the reader only knows a student as IT (I won't spoil it in case anyone wants to read it, which I highly recommend) until the very end. I didn't even realize it until my advisor asked me about ( Read more... )

I have to give my portfolio presentation tomorrow. I know it's informal and casual, but I'm still nervous. I hate talking in front of people and I've had a couple profs stop me in the halls and tell me that they'll be there. Eep. While I'm thrilled that they liked me enough to attend, I kind of wish they wouldn't because that would mean less ( Read more... )
