icepixie: ([Poetry] October twilight)
It is a beautiful afternoon, and I'm stuck inside writing a paper.* Grar. At least I can have all my windows open and feel the breeze. (The breeze which is currently making the acorns on the centuries-old oak tree outside the window closest to my desk fall like raindrops. Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap. It's not quite the point of being distracting, but it might get there soon. Let me just say I'm glad the branches don't extend over my roof, or I'd be going crazy.)

There was an adorable freshman who came to the writing center this morning with a paper where he'd cited pretty much every sentence he wrote, even things like, "The book was published in 1903." Way to be hyperaware of plagiarism! I must find his teacher and get him or her to explain how s/he put the fear of God in the class about citations.


* This will undoubtedly be a repeated theme over the next six and a half years. Ah, grad school.
