'A'

I think I must have spent a thousand hours on the essay I just handed in today! Footnoting is cruel and unusual punishment. I was starting to cackle and mutter and shout,becoming slowly insane, until finally by about 1:30 in the middle of the night, I finished the confounded footnoting for my essay. There were spots before my eyes already and my stomach was hurting so I drank all the wine that was left in the bottle... and went to sleep. This morning I completed the bibliography, downed some 'breaky', rushed to school and had a great class. My prof is a wonderful teacher. She is so passionate about what she teaches and makes such good sense. I would love to take another course with her next semester instead of doing the next intro course with another professor. I'm going to talk to her about that since she is also my adviser. Good idea.
I got an 'A' on my first three summaries/response assignments! I started to cry. It was a touching moment. I can hardly believe it because all I have right now is a brain ache from all this thinking and studying and writing and footnoting. I'm going to have a restful time this afternoon. I'm not 'hit tin' the books today! My brain is going to think happy thoughts only. So there.
