I got an A in German translation class!!! I'll only show up as "pass" on my transcript because it's a language class, but it was sooooo much work and I'll know I got an A. I haven't been so excited about a grade since I got a 4 on my AP Physics exam in highschool.
And I just passed in my Winslow Homer paper. I'm reasonably satisfied with it. I know what the weak points are and the perfectionistic part of me would like to continue to rewrite, but the progress I would make just doesn't seem worth the amount of effort right now. I'm really really tired. Feeling old because I stayed up until 1:30 last night and arrived back at the library at 8:15am and my body is acting as if I didn't get any sleep at all.
I'm stuck at the library all today, but that's ok because I still have to finish up my semiotics paper. It also could do with some major rewriting, but I don't think I'm going to overhaul it, just selectively edit. Hopefully I'll do ok in the class. It's kind of wierd here. Since B- is effectively failing my semiotics prof. described giving a B to a student as a "slap on the wrist". Aparantly in graduate school we're just supposed to get all "A"s all the time. Just confirms my thought that's it's effectively pass/fail anyway.
Tonight some of the grad. students who are still in town are going out to dinner at the New Indian food place in town (now we have Indian, Thai, and Spanish restaurants all right next to each other "main street," kind of odd for a town that has barely anywhere else to eat, only one major pizza place). It'll be so nice to be done and then go out to dinner! Tomorrow is reserved for sleep and bad t.v. and then I have to start on errands and cleaning. Oh, and my presentation for Europe. I can't believe we're leaving in three weeks!
