I'm sorry, I have to show off. I just did really well on a paper (essay in England) that I just got back and I'm very excited and have to tell someone!
Not only did I get an A on the paper, and an A in 3 of the criteria and A+ in the fourth, the professor also wrote really nice comments and stuff, I feel really good. I was a bit worried about the paper because it was about Marx and I know nothing about Marx and I had to teach myself a lot of what I wrote about from the start.
For "structure & argument," he said "The essay provides a complex argument in mature and convincing way. Very well done." Yes, he said "in mature" not "in a mature" - he's Austrian! Then for "knowledge & understanding" I got the A+ and he just said "Excellent," then for "use of sources" he said "All sources are significant and critically discussed. :) Yaaay! I feel really good about myself and my essay writing ability.
Also, this is the course where I'm the most nervous about my performance on the exam, so it's good that I have a really good essay grade to boost things.
In contrast to this academic excellence, I put glue all over the back of my hand earlier to peel it off. I got distracted partway through and there's still a bit of glue left.
In other news, I go home on Monday. A lot of people are leaving tomorrow and Sunday. It's very sad and final around here. Weird. I feel a bit unaffected. Good-byes don't always hit me, I try not to think about them so I fon't get depressed. Also, in a lot of ways it's sort of like I knew all year that I wouldn't be coming back with people. I felt worse at Christmas, it was weird. Yeah. I have taken down my big psoters so my walls are bare, that helps me feel like it's over. I'm mostly just jealous of everyone, that they will be coming back and hanging out together next year. I also actually feel a little relieved about going back to Smith - not just happy, relieved. I think I've started idealizing things there. >.>
Also, I went to Edinburgh yesterday, got back today. It was super-awesome, a really nice city. But also, I'm really tired! So I'm not really in a position to be deep right now. I just really wanted to show off about that essay. Wooo!
Ah! Also!
ames_909, you said you could upload more V6 dance performances for me? Maybe? Just in case you've forgotten - if you're busy or don't feel like it, you know, don't worry. I hate uploading so I'm very thankful that you're doing it for me :)
