Dr. Dyer just sent me an email about my first chapter which yes, I did finally turn in. He says it looks "very good," which is the very antithesis of what I was expecting him to say. YAY. Only about 43 more pages including an in-depth chapter on Stalin and how his language policy was much more oppressive but quite clever and far more organized than ( Read more... )

I am having the best day in my entire life. Woohoo!
On a completely unrelated note, April is going to be a good month.

I have just spent the past three days celebrating my birthday. I loves it. Last year my birthday was a two-day-long celebration, and this year I decided to make it three days. I think my favorite part was getting carded at murff's at 4 pm on my actual birthday. I told the bartender it was my birthday and i was 22 years old, and he said happy ( Read more... )

умееть and имееть are 2 completely different verbs. I really wish I had realized that before writing that essay last week.

Lo! I am finally really getting how things work in espanol 574. The phonology section has been killing me, and since it takes up like 1/3 of our textbook it's all we've been doing for awhile. But! I finally understand when and how short latin vowels dipthongize, the loss of certain vowels in the environment of liquids and finally, how vowels change ( Read more... )

Sooo, I am loving my classes. Saints and Sex is absolutely fascinating. I've never read the Bible before this class, and I guess I always just assumed that what people say the Bible condemns, the Bible really does actually condemn. I am never going to look at any of Corinthians the same way again. Paul kind of says "Well, don't have sex if you can ( Read more... )

I am feeling much better after skipping a class, skipping work, napping, putting in my notice, eating a yummy dinner, taking a hot bath, and winning an ebay auction. I guess that's all it takes to get rid of a case of the mondays.
I'm almost unemployed! YAY!

Last night I went to a superbowl party with more food than I could possibly eat in my entire life. Of course I had to at least try to eat it all because it was sooooooo good, and now I feel awful. Now I am planning to never eat again in my life ( Read more... )

Two weeks into the school year, two weeks into the last and lightest-houred semester of my entire college career, I feel completely burned out. And it's not going to stop. It might even get worse. AHHhhhhhhhaaaah. I am never going to make it in the real world if this is enough to wear me out. I suppose I'll just have to find a nice, rich man who ( Read more... )

For those who haven't heard, I am on the radio and famous. Some lady from mpb came to the alcohol-policy thing, interviewed some kids and then came to the honors college in the hopes of finding smarter kids. I got interviewed! The best part is that the people who would give me a hard time for what I said are not the kind of people that listen to ( Read more... )
