Darn my essay! I’ve been drawing a complete mental blank the entire day. And except for this morning’s catch-up with BFA, I attempted to focus only on my essay all day. So I should be done with it right? Right. Am I done with it? No.
What is the essay about? My assignment is: “Discuss the idea that adaptations are never as good as the original by demonstrating research of relevant references, situating arguments clearly within contemporary literature on remix culture and intertextuality.” Anyone else ever tried to do research on remixable culture or intertextuality?? (which btw those aren’t even real words.) These are RECENT ideas. There isn’t a whole lot of research out there. I told my teacher I was struggling and you know what she said? “I have a hard time buying that.” [insert look of death directed at HER.]
Want to know what I have a hard time buying? That she can’t afford to buy a razor. And this is when I bit my tongue. My opinions on the fact that she wears shorts to class and doesn’t shave her legs aren’t helpful – though they are arguably constructive because it IS very distracting during the lectures when she plops a leg up on the table for us all to see.
Ah well … I have until tomorrow at 5:00 to turn the essay in. I’m being docked 4% for it being late but I can’t be fussed by it. This is the first time I’ve done this and hopefully the last. Bonnie Lass warned me that the first late essay puts you on a dangerously slippery slope to being a poor student. He’s probably right. Which is why I will be EXTRA careful with the other assignments. 
See what I missed today while I was studying? At least I got to walk down the promenade before hitting the books.
Ooh! This picture reminds me!! Are you a dude? (lol – I can’t believe I just wrote that question.) ANYWAY …
If you’re a dude you should read that book. haha! No seriously though – BFA had me look through it – it’s a great book. It explains why women are crazy and how men can cope with it. lol. That should put this book on my Lame List but honestly I found myself agreeing with it! haha! BFA says the book has changed his life and I would venture to guess that it has helped countless of other men as well. So yeah – A must read for boys of all ages. “The Way of the Superior Man.” I’m going to read it too even though I’m NOT a dude (thank goodness!!!)
