today is the day for paper-writing.  

Posted by: Rebecca in ,


I have two due Monday and Tuesday - one on Browning's "My Last Duchess" and one on Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm going to finish the Browning paper today before lunch - I'm set on doing that. The Borderline paper could probably wait until tomorrow. With that and the stories, I feel like I'm drowning in paper.

Had a meeting with Kevin this past week to talk about "Gnomes." He liked it, but he pointed out some things I'd done that I shouldn't have or that I should've done but didn't. It's going to be a pretty long story when I'm done revising it - maybe thirty or thirty-five pages, double-spaced. I'm also supposed to be working on the Baby Reaper story, to finish it. Or at least get close. He says he expects about fifty pages of writing by the end of the semester (on both stories combined). Well, I've already got that, so now it's just a matter of finishing and polishing. I'll have more time to do that after these papers, and maybe I can even squeeze out some time during Thanksgiving Break.

I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving... It feels like forever since I've been home, and I miss everybody so much. My grandfather's 70th birthday is next week, but I'm going to miss the party since I don't get to go home till the Tuesday after that. Sad :(

I went and saw Threepenny Opera last night. It was a pretty good show - the set was amazing, the costumes were cool. Acting and singing was good. I was a little disappointed at the ending - it was a little too Gilbert and Sullivan for the type of show it was attached to. Also, Sam, who played Crookfinger Jake, was creepy. The cast interacted with the audience a lot, and at one point he came and stood right in front of me, stole my program, and stared at me for like five minutes. The best part was, he never broke character, never smiled. He started laughing a bit when he had to sing, but I was impressed, and amused.

Well, I'm done with breakfast, so now I must start writing.
