what the Drosselmeyer house was like the rest of the year? In every production of The Nutcracker I've ever seen, I cannot picture it in any thing other than a perpetual state of "Christmasness."

Fear and (self) loathing in Las Cruces...
It's been...bumpy.
A mass of text hath passed mine eyes and to much dismay, little if any has stuck.
I was called in to my adviser after my professor emailed her. I severely underperformed on a paper proposal, handing in five pages of outline and bibliography, when, as it turns out, he wanted a short version of the actual paper. It was (ludicrously) graded, and I was given a provisional "D". He's expecting a rewrite, well, the TA is expecting a rewrite.
After another will-call mishap, and needing time to focus on my two papers, I'm taking a couple weeks off from work. At a point, it's just too much and these are too important, I think I had forgotten that a little bit. No matter what the denoument of the semester is, whether I get the money to stay, have to return to Tampa because I don't, or take of...I need to have a decent GPA coming out of this semester not matter what happens.

Waiting...waiting...waiting...and with a surprising lack of change...more waiting...
So we got our Western Theatre papers back this morning...
Finally some hint at academic validation, my first real paper grade at Columbia...
W.B. handed it to me...lot's of comments...oo... Why did I leave that in? I don't remember leaving that in. Not anachronistic, achronistic... ACHRONISTIC! damn auto correct. *le sigh* "Good Connection, but... *le sigh some more* The TA is commenting a lot, W.B. isn't...why isn't he commenting? I...ugh...how is a Marx reference not obvious enough? How is the Locke reference not obvious enough? Everybody knows those theories. "Don't assume your reader knows anything." But assume we do, eh? Ha. That wasn't that funny. Well...nah not that funny. Your citations are funny. Funny bad, not funny haha. Are citations ever funny haha? Get to last page.
No grade.
Flip over. No grade. Class and Prof. long gone...
What's going on?
Where's my grade?
I...
Uh....what?
Dear God...
I was really tired. It was finished during an all-nighter, and every other sundry excuse ever used, by everyone, ever.
Was it that horrible? No, no-no. I mean he's not above just putting an F on a paper, right? Christ. Does he want me to rewrite? I'd love a rewrite.
*le sigh*
Emailed prof + TA. Waiting...patiently.
Oh, hey...look at that. This is my 100th post.
