2013

i've just semi-finished another paper. it's due tues. including a presentation where i stand up in front of people and blab about my study on students' gendered talk during reading conferences, which will be followed by the downing of a few beers to wash away the memory. why the need for the beer? this is the first big one of about 100 more before the really really big one which must be finished by 2013, the year that denotes me finally being finished with school. and so because it's the first of all the rest before the big big one in 2013, i'm a wreck over it. i've been a wreck over it since september and so the actual paper might be a wreck too. but you know what? i've been working on this for 2 months, so here's to having a lot of pages and a lot of words and some conclusions that might not be nearly as sound as i'd hoped they'd be. but hey, it's written, i'll print it, i'll talk about it, life won't end.
here's to all of us finishing one more semester! yipee!
