fredag den nionde november

hi. i thought today was the 10th, but it's the 9th. my days are confused. i was up all night wednesday night/thursday morning writing my social stratification paper. i never slept at all. as i kept writing, i realized what the hell they had asked us to do was basically to write an annotated bibliography. i wish they had just fucking called the assignment that, instead of describing it in a vague way that made everyone confused. so, my annotated bibliography consisted of eight peer-reviewed articles. no, seven articles and one published doctoral dissertation. i think the damn paper came out pretty okay. however, while scanning over a copy of the paper (after i had already turned it in), i realized that i made a mistake on the reference page. i forgot to write in the article title for one of the reference entries. everything was there in perfect, painstakingly accurate apa style, but the damn article title was missing. i KNOW they will notice that. on my last paper, they circled these tiny, tiny apa style mistakes in red on my reference page. and i thought i was anal! but why am i stressing out about it? i did the best i could, and i learned a lot from reading and synthesizing the literature. well, it looks like i need a vacation. yeah. the plan for this sunday is for my dad and i to hop in the car and get the hell out of this concrete jungle for the day. we're going to the storm king sculpture park like we did last year. the leaves on the trees are changing color (i discovered that phenomenon while up in westchester county for an intern training session this past monday). i'm having deja vu as i write this. even the part about writing i have deja vu gives me deja vu. what the fuck is deja vu about? anyway, i really love school and seeing my schoolfriends. i might go over there on some weekend day or some weeknights to study so that i can see them more. but maybe i'll get less work done that way. blah, blah, blah. i'm delirious from sleep deprivation, and i am relieved that these papers are done, and i am amazed that my first semester will be over in a little over a month! this semester has FLOWN by!!! I look forward to winter break, though. I hope to see my schoolfriends over that time period.
