Finally made it through the semester, but am running smack dab into the holidays. Spent the last several days in various states of vegetation: sleep, couch potato, zombie. I am finding it a little hard to get a few things accomplished, like sending out holiday cards and gifts to family. If you are expecting a card from me...it may show up late. Family packages will show up sometime after Christmas. Starting to get back into life little by little. |

I just wanna hide under lots and lots of blankets for the next few days. Unfortunately that will have to wait. Final push of projects - finished the awful book review and the term paper, still have presentation of group project (hopefully, I don't make a fool out of myself tomorrow) and another book review. the last final will be online on Wednesday - hooray! You see up there where I reference the "awful" book review? Yeah, that review turned out to be 14 pages. I hope the instructor chokes on it... See, the assignment was this: "Your review must be divided into two parts: a descriptive part and a critical part." No problem...that's do-able. Here's the insane part: go over every chapter in the book and offer a brief description of the author's key points. Wait, there's more! When doing so, explain the method of development - the way the author supports his/her thesis. Illustrate your remarks with specific references and quotations from the book. For a book that has 13 frickin' chapters...holy hell, professor! You could have had the class write research papers and they would have been more fun and entertaining. Talk about sucking the life out of a project. Then... In the critical part of the review, you need to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the book... yadda yadda yadda. Yeah, so that's done and I am glad that it is. That means that this particular class is finished for the term. I have the Pacific World in Transition in 19th Century class ending tomorrow. the other two will be finished on Wednesday and then, I swear to whatever god or goddess may be frickin' listening - I am so going to hibernate for three days (at least)! Yeah, I'll get right on that...just as soon as I read that book that should have been read last week for the book critique that is due on Wednesday! O__o |
