Mostly alive...

[readingredhead]

Well, this marks Year Four of not killing myself during November -- at least, not physically. Metaphysically, this is probably a different story.

I've got 25 pages worth of papers due within the next week, but by 11am a week from today, I am essentially done. My finals for once are all going to be easy: in both my humanities classes that have finals, my profs have promised that the tests will contain no actual long essays and will only take up an hour and a half of the three-hour time slot allocated for finals. In my bio class, I might not even need to take the final since I'm taking the course pass/fail and a 70% is a pass. Currently I think I have a high ninetysomething.

So really -- I need to make it through the week. And if I can do that, it'll all be okay.

25 pages is a lot of writing, but waaaay less than you just wrote this month. So power through and congrats on almost being done! :)

dude and i thought my 10 pages were bad. though, since you're super awesome you are probably progressing really well whereas i don't even have an inkling of a thesis yet. but then again, it's my own fault for sucking so i don't really deserve any sympathy for that :(

btw i think my beliefs on genre fiction have changed!! i still have this aversion when art turns into commodities and even though, well, obviously you BUY faulkner, there's just something about mass market paperbacks that push my buttons. it's the marxist in me. but sci-fi still rocks, whatever. though i don't think anybody could ever make me change my mind about twilight. everrrrr.
