1:57 a.m. - 20.11.02 *ahem* Yes, ladies and gentleman, my Intro to Lit paper is going to be fantastic. American cheese and all. Judith Fetterly, thank you for your "On the Politics of Literature." Women may not be able to achieve the American dream, but that is not going to stop Linda Loman from trying in any way she can, gosh darnit. Go manipulative angel-women archetypes! You rule! hmm. がんばって、ミッシェル！ hehehehehehehe I am silly. Japanese IME is fun to mess with, even if it probably isn't going to show up as anything but gibberish. I think that my name in katakana is really cute. Yes, yes it is. And Dr. Clark has helped me find a direction to take for my Chinese Thought paper. I have the books from the library now, and am sort of prepared...to spend Thanksgiving break reading Daoist texts for hours and hours. We also have another paper to write for him on the differences between religious Daoism and philosophical Daoism, which shouldn't be too difficult given my familiarity with the subject matter. I think that that is another paper that will have to be written over break, if I can't get it done this weekend. But I am spurred to do a good job by the A I got on the last paper for him, which was cool, because he spent the first part of class telling us what we did wrong, and I sat there listening, thinking to myself "yes, that sounds like something I would do...yeah, that's DEFINITELY me he's talking about...bad self esteem bad self esteem etc. etc." and then I got it back and there were barely any marks on it, and I had a good grade, and the comments dealt with something I was aware of neglecting. So I feel somewhat better about my academics for now. With that good grade and what Dr. Jaroff said about my Lit paper, I'm just on this complete high... My laundry has finally been done. Now I can rest soundly knowing it will not be mutating into some strange lifeform that will strangle me during the night. Small favors, ne? I don't ask for much. Oh so weak in the knees, boys. Oh, and I finally fixed the older entries bug thing for this recently. Not that that is overly important, but it made me happy. Today I had one of those waves of that "very excited about going to Japan" feeling. I really should complete the paperwork for that...it's due December 2nd. The monetary bits are being taken care of already, it's just up to me now to get the forms filled out.
