I really AM a leaf on the wind!
Aug. 3rd, 2006 06:29 pmYou know that paper I've been bitching about?
The one that's owned my life for the last two weeks? The one that has made me stressed and distracted (bordering on unpleasant, if not downright pessimistic) for entirely too long?
The one I couldn't possibly, ever make a passing grade on?
Played for and got: 98% baybee!
I am under no illusions that I got this grade because I understand the material - the prof said in his comments that I didn't write to the target audience (him), though I did do good research and wrote well.
No, what I learned is that I can turn out a graduate level paper in two weeks if I'm willing to hammer at it until it's squeezing me to death. Whether this is a revelation I'm willing to explore in more detail in the future is currently being considered.
