Happy October!

Am wearing Halloween socks. :) (Granted, I've been wearing Halloween socks off and on for the past month or so, but I feel legit.)

In addition to all the lovely test/essay grades so far, got another egoboo yesterday when we talked about my Southern Charm poem in class. Basically the only quibble anyone, including Clarvoe, had was that they didn't understand the Nathan Bedford Forrest reference. (There were a couple other tiny things, but I like them a lot they way they are, and so did everyone else, eventually.) They spent the whole half-hour pretty much saying what was good about the poem. Squee! Little to no revising!

And apparently none of us did exactly what she was expecting with the assignment, although they were all still good poems in their own right. Anyway, we have to hand in another one on Thursday just to see what happens when we use imperative verbs, basically. Voila:

( Second Charm poem )

Hmmm.

Started the paper for Irish Lit. All I have is the intro. However, said intro is three paragraphs long and takes up three quarters of a single-spaced page in AppleWorks. The maximum length for this thing is seven pages.

It's a good thing that cutting is far easier than adding.

In other news, how I do love the ability to turn off the heat in our room. Granted, there's still a warm draft coming from the vent when it's off, but it's nowhere near as bad as when it's on low. Which, BTW, is ridiculous. Their idea of "low" is my idea of "thermonuclear blast."

And this is from someone who's usually freezing. I'm sure everybody else has windows open and fans going.
