Well, my meeting got canceled after I already took today off to deal with SLU stuff. So I get to deal with house and SLU stuff but not paper. Next draft deadline is Sept. 28th.
My professor emailed me his critique. I'm not arguing with anything he pointed out, but yet AGAIN I get told that my quotations are not explained. And by again, I mean EVERY paper I have turned in since my first as a freshman has gotten this complaint and I can't get a professor to tell me how I'm doing it wrong! *HEADDESK*
This is why I HATE nonfiction papers that tear literature apart. I know I'm doing something wrong, but what? And this was supposed to be easier than doing a thesis project? *Gnaws on desk*
He hates my thesis for the paper, which doesn't hurt my feelings because I find it an unwieldy mess too, but it was pulling teeth to get that! *headdesk* I have no idea how to approach this material, I don't want to approach this material, and I'm afraid it is coming through my writing because he said it wouldn't hurt his feelings if switched projects and professors. I HAVE NO TIME TO DO THAT NOW! Maybe if it had been suggested back in the last week of August... *whimper*
I'm stressed about this and I'm stressed about my budget and my house needs cleaning. I won't bet on it, but I bet I get further on house cleaning than anything else. :p

I've always found that the housework gets done when I'm avoiding writing. It tends to help because it doesn't shut the brain off while it keeps the hands busy, so there is time to think about things. I don't think it'll help you any since you can't just make up your answers as with fiction, but... good luck, Darlin'. *mwah*
Dishes and budget were my two worst offenses and both got cleaned up relatively speaking. I have an empty sink and won't have enough money next paycheck but I know it now instead of guessing.
Doesn't help me get any further with Faulkner. I'm planning on having red pen fun tonight before Bones.
