My Funny (Velma) Valentine!

judecorpYesterday was Coworker Velma's birthday. Today we had a little party for her, complete with ice cream cake, which just rocks. I love ice cream cake. The cool thing was when Brett was cutting the cake, he gave the piece with the blue balloon on it to me. Yay! It's the little things.
I edited my ads a little today to make them fit the size of the quarter-page of The Lantern. Easy.
I realized this morning that there's no conclusion on my Families paper, so I need to retype that page and add it. Or I could just hand it in. I might. I could care less.
In Adolescents this morning, the professor said she didn't want our papers to be any longer that 20 pages /including/ reference pages, abstract page, and title page. EEK! I am on page 12 and just about half done. So I guess tonight I will work on re-organizing my thoughts and deciding what I'm going to keep/not keep. But as Coworker Hope says, it's better to have too much and take away than not to have enough and have to add. I might fudge a whole bunch of the beginning stuff and concentrate on queer identity development issues. I dunno, though. At this point, I am so thoroughly apathetic.
I got an A on the paper I wrote about![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cappucinogrrl. Thanks, kiddo! I want to get you something to thank you. :)
I'm going to buy Coworker Velma Chipotle for lunch. Mmm, burrito. Maybe I will eat more ice cream cake before class tonight, for final exam energy. That reminds me, I really should look over that stuff sometime. Whee!
I should be more uptight about this Adolescents paper, because I'm basically scrapping most of what I already did, but for some reason, I just don't care. Possible reasons why I don't care include: ice cream cake, sunny and warm day with no coat, talking to my girl this morning before class, visit from the Jen(n)s tomorrow, time alone with my girl in an empty apartment, Families being done by 7:30pm tonight, a copy of someone's cheat sheet for Comps from last year (which eliminates needing to prepare an essay about Yalom's theory of Group Psychotherapy - major timesaver!), TMBG coming out of the speakers, Ani tomorrow, "I cyb3r j00" voicemail fromjost this morning, ALL OF THE ABOVE.
Schoolmate Peggy said to me this morning, "You completely seem like the kind of person who is always good at every single thing you do, but not in an annoying 'I'm better than you' want-to-smack-the-person kind of way."
My sekrit boyfriend made a picture ofhappy2beso. You can totally tell it's her. That rat bastid - he's cheating on me already!!
I think it's time for Chee-pote-lay.

AND SHAME ON RYAN for BREAKING YOUR HEART THAT WAY! I can't believe he would be such a bitch to you. Oh- he'll get what he deserves, when he sees that picture of adam you made the other day.

Date: 2002-03-14 02:29 pm (UTC)writer's guideline
Date: 2002-03-14 03:59 pm (UTC)Best way to actually finish it without going crazy.
It's funny... I always say it's not page length in a paper that matters. If anything there should be a *maximum*. I know if I was grading them I'd rather read a well-written 12-pager than some bloated thing. I'd rather it be *5* pages, 5 particularly good ones.
I know it's not the way of academia, but really I care less who you can cite. I care more about what you have to say.

Re: writer's guideline
Date: 2002-03-14 04:48 pm (UTC)I'm verbose, and my paper is too all-encompassing. I need to, like, throw out whole parts.

Re: writer's guideline
Date: 2002-03-14 05:08 pm (UTC)Or you could re-outline, write a different paper (maybe borrowing bits from the 12 pages you have) with a smaller scope and hence a shorter length.
But editing before you finish is a path that leads to procrastination.

Well, I never had a wishlist before, but you made me kinda want one. So, if you search by my email address on Amazon, you'll find it. Meanwhile, I don't think there's anything a good price in there. But hey, if you're feeling very giving, then who am I to oblige you?
...There're also buttons at mushycat.com that I do love dearly that are political and a more affordable range.
But nothing is necessary. (I have to say that, right?) Just more games of magnetic poetry will suffice. And your undying worship.
BTW, tell your Brown to hurry up sending me that damned application, or it's a summer job for me.

Let's go, Brown. Hurry the heck up!
