Charlie says nobody's got the strange and hidden power

So, the paper from two weeks ago? The one I opened the book for at three a.m. and wrote in about four hours? Apparently it was "tremendously impressive."

"I probably don't need to tell you that your writing is outstanding; I'm sure you know already. The only weakness I detect is some incoherence between paragraphs. Rather than tie them securely together, you tend to shift gears to new topics with some inattention to what came before. In terms of content, I'm equally impressed, though I do wish you had dug a bit deeper into Cronon's basic assumptions. [ . . . ]"

Grade: 92 (A). Oy. This, then, is not the paper that forces me out of my self-destructive procrastinating spiral. Better luck next time. But thanks for playing our game.

silentfire: hey, that's great
silentfire: . . . right?
walkingshadow: well, yes
walkingshadow: just
walkingshadow: the mind boggles

I did allude to "Miniver Cheevy" though. Go me.

Phonetics quiz tomorrow that, hey, I haven't studied for. Though really, she gives those quizzes away, so there's actually no need to bother. Then I will find examples of negatives in cartoon strips for my Modern English Structure class, and my Friday will be complete. Around here, every week is a week to celebrate the end of.

If your LJ entries are an indication of how you write papers for school, then I'm not surprised your teacher thought the paper was pretty impressive. The words, they flow well.

(And okay, I admit to a teeny bit of envy because I can't write like that.)

One wonders what grade you have received if you had more than four hours to write it. *g*

I probabyl shouldn't enable you, huh?

Ahhh, and that's the story of my life. I've never given myself the chance to find out, because if the last-minute work is always successful, there's psychologically no reason to give myself more time. I'm always amazed my stuff is considered right alongside everyone else's when they've actually done what they were supposed to, and I'm a little more paranoid every time, expecting the bottom to drop out and to finally be exposed for the imposter I always feel I am.

Well, that definitely wouldn't be something I need, so thanks for only offering encouragement and admiration. :-)
