I got a B on my first paper. This is better than I expected, but lower than I'd like, so I'm going to revise and resubmit for an A. First, I need to write my final papers for both classes, and take a final, but after that I'll be resubmitting the genre paper.
The next paper I'm writing is based on a perceived social movement. I'm going to have to do a bit more digging, but I think that political candidates having myspace pages constitutes a social movement, something growing out of the Rock the Vote campaign. Freaking myspace. That shit pisses me off more than anything. Why advertise a political candidate before the primaries to children who are not even old enough to be voting?? Gotta be a reason. Gotta be a point. Gotta be a movement bubbling under there.
This week is my last week of school before a 2 week break! Week 1 is NCA, and I will not be going, so I'll be going home! I'm going to hang out at my parents' house for a few days, update my computer, take the new car to Capitol and get her a check up, spend the usual workday at Dave and Busters playing skee-ball. :) Oh how I love a week off. Then the week off for Thanksgiving. But neither is a real week off: papers are due in 5 weeks!! Time off is never really time off. Illusion.
I'm tired, I have 30$, and I have had the same headache for 3 weeks, but I am so happy. I don't think I've ever been so happy and proud of what I'm doing. I know I whine a lot, but I love it!
(And now back to work.)

Hey, girl! Fun blog :) It's fun to read about the experiences of people going through the same thing (icky grad school).
It sucks sometimes, but I really love it in a scary sadistic way.
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
