Well, you're better off than I am. I'm two pages into my Can Lit paper and don't have anything else to say. Now to make something up for eight more pages.
ReplyDeleteAh, the carefully honed skill that every grad student possesses: the ability to BS for most of a paper. ;) Well, if it makes you feel any better, when I finish this paper, I still have a 20-page Poetics paper.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
PS- Is the deadline for Can Lit today or tomorrow? I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteIt's tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you have already done better than me. I turned my paper in with 8 full pages and 3 lines on the 9th. Haha. What a strong way to end a M.A., right?
Hey, nice new blog. Glad to see you've endorsed some of my reading list. :) Good luck with your comprehensive. The first-year PhDs at Penn take their 50-book at the end of the summer. I'm glad not to be doing that. Are you going to come down to Philly any time soon?
