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.

*updated* Gender is changeable, Sex is not...well how about that?

Screen shot of the day: Trello

So, I was introduced to the very useful (and very free) Trello online listing program, by my new boss Rudy, who uses it to organize the tasks for the office. I signed up with my own account and it has been great. Y'all know of my obsequious obsession with being able to visualize what needs to be done. This program is an amazing organizational tool for anyone with multiple projects with many steps and parts to get through.  I highly recommend it!

Click to enlarge...the amazingness.

So yeah, https://trello.com . It's free to sign up. Enjoy.

PS. I think I will  *UPDATE* did start (yet another) Tumblr blog about the where to get the best food for under $5 in Morningside....as a public service.

It's called:

Ken Jennings: "Go get em."

So I'm doing the College Test for Jeopardy tonight, so as a one off I tweeted Ken Jennings for some encouragement:

Wrapping Up The Summer

So I'm almost there, Monday is my final for Chem and Society. After ten weeks, I'm sure it wasn't the most informative class I've ever taken, but I think I may muddle out a low "A". I know I should be happy with that, but that kind of attitude leads to bad places. I should be concerned with what I've actually learned. All the effort in the world means bubkus if I've taken away nothing useful.

This is the essay we had to write.  A relativity small one this time, it was only three pages.  I got unexpected funny looks when I mentioned citations.  Apparently, no one else bothered going that in-depth.  :\  Hooray, for overachieving.  Click below to read it in full.
