Lining up the pawns...

icepixieThe next month? Looking scary.
April 28 - Story for fiction class (~15 pages)
April 30 - Presentation on Vaclav Havel's Temptation
May 3 - French history paper (12-15 pages; knowing my reputation for complete lack of conciseness, it'll be at least 15)
Proposal for final Faust paper (~1 page?)
May 5 - Portfolio for fiction (need to revise three pieces, so will probably be at least 10 pages of new writing)
May 11 - Faust paper (7-10 pages)
Some random point in early May - Take-home Russian Lit. final, ~god-knows-how-many pages
So I have at least fifty pages ahead of me, probably closer to sixty or seventy, in the next month. Meep.
Oh, and during all this, my Modern France prof thinks that we're going to have three weeks of reading 200 pages of week, and one (next week) of reading 500 pages in a week. No, it's not a typo. He's the one requiring the paper, too. Hint: if you insist on having these reading assignments, put them at the beginning of the semester, instead of at the end. We've had averages of 100 to 150 pages a week thus far (except for that horrible Sentimental Education week with 400, but let's try not to think about that), which are slightly more manageable. I mean, let's face it: when caught between working on a paper that counts for 20% of my grade versus reading 500 pages for a quiz that a.) might not even happen, and b.) counts for maybe 1/30th of the 30% participation/attendance/quiz grade, I'm gonna skim the reading that week, as probably most intelligent people would do.
In other news, have started formally researching for said paper. It's on female spies in the French Resistance, and now I wanna go work for the CIA. Heh. I'd so get laughed right out of the building...

You are a GRAMMAR GOD!
If your mission in life is not already to

Congratulations and thank you!
