So, I've been back from college since Sunday, but I got another wisdom tooth out on Monday, so I was realy out of it for awhile. The pain isn't too bad anymore, but I had an allergic reaction to the painkillers they gave me this time. Frankly, I'm a little irritated, because the stuff they gave me the first time was so much better. I can't figure

I started reading the book, and while the language is impressive but thought that it did not quite live up the the quote on the front that said, "The only Convincing love story of our century" - Vanity Fair

Don't complain about "only" a 3.87- here, my B+/A- grade average is barely a 3.3.

And don't throw out or burn Lolita; I'll take it. I agree, it's very twisted and sick, but it's also an incredible book and too important to be burned.

I wasn't complaining about my GPA. I care quite a bit less about grades in college than I did in high school. When I said, "only a 3.87," I meant ".03 lower than it would need to be in order for me to earn a full scholarship and thus excitingly high, but tantalizingly close to a full scholarship and thus extremely frustrating." Like, a double-edged sword. I'm sorry that I get stressed about things like paying for college, but I don't forsee that stress disappearing entirely in the next three years, so I'm gonna have to ask you to deal with it :) However, believe me, I am working on being less insane about these things. I also think you should remember that you're attending McGill and are thus probably taking harder classes because 1) McGill has fewer GE's (I'm not at all into my major), and 2) McGill is very prestigious. Therefore a B+/A- for you is a very different thing than it would be for me. I would lose my scholarship entirely with such a GPA, not because it's low, but b/c BYU is easier than McGill (in addition to being filled

Yeah, I do too. I don't think it's a love story, and I don't think Dolores seduced Humbert Humbert. I agree when you say it's sick, because it is. It's a story of raping children. And I'm not in any way calling your experiences invalid or anything, and I'm sorry you still get flashbacks from what your "father" did to you. He's a fucking bastard and if I ever see him again, nothing on earth will stop me from kicking him in the nuts until he collapses

Oh, and I'm not offended. It's exciting to be debating again. :)
