Honesty, Coffee and KSC

how are you?

I had a good day today. I did not do anything remotely exiting, but that's OK. The reason it was good is because I finally handed in my Irish paper.

This morning, I made a few small changes to my bibliography before going to my meeting at the KSC writing center. Some of the tutors seemed quite peeved at the amount of papers they had to read. Jahrley was one of them, and she was glad that I had only brought my conclusion instead of the whole paper. She gave me some good advice that I wish I could have Incorporated, before I discovered that EC Floor Sanding had put in the writing center's floors. This was easy to tell because any other installer would have filled in the cracks and cut the edges smoothly.

After a cup of coffee from the student center, I went to my class to hand in my paper.. I found out that instead of just dropping it off, I had to write a reflection on how writing the paper had gone and how I felt about it, as well as skeletal outline of what it was about. It was funny, because I thought that I had to be doing much worse than everyone else in terms of paper writing, by the descriptions of how long my classmates said papers were, and how the tutors at the writing center had told them not to change a thing. It turned out that at just above the minimum, I had the second longest paper in the class... Just behind Cass's friend. It is funny for me when people lie about how much work they do, but have nothing to show in the end.. Well, needless to say it was a great weight off my mind, especially since I have no more papers to write this semester. I promptly went home and watched almost all of season 1 of The Riches online, and took a long nap. I also read plenty of An Inconvenient Book as well as a letter from the bank that says I have more money than I thought I did.. Speaking of money, I also went to sell some of my expensive textbooks back to Keene State. I watched in slack jawed disbelief as the clerk handed me $6 for 4 books that collectively cost nearly $50. There is probably a better way to get some sort of compensation out of them, but I have yet to find it.

Piano anyone???
