finals week Thursday December 16

i know i've been MIA for awhile; finals week can do that to you.

i had a paper due monday. in my notebook i had written, "december 13th". somehow, during the hubub for my japanese paper, i filled in the "3" digit to become a "6". at least, in my head. yes, i decided that my paper was due on thursday.

so, much to my surprise, on monday i found other students turning in their papers when i merely went to ask for source advice from my professor. he was out anyhow, so i sent him an e-mail about the deadline issue. he was, of course, not pleased.

neither was i, though. i don't like letting down professors by any means. so i decided that since i had "enough time" to do this paper -- he said he would accept it late at a penalty -- i would do it well. the assignment was for 8-10 pages, and i wrote 14. the way i see it, this is the last serious, big paper of my undergraduate career. might as well go out with a boom.

i have one more to write today, but this one is only 5 pages. it should write itself, it's for my classical chinese literature course.

in other news, tony from merry ann's just called me about training. looks like i have a "fun" job now.
