gogmagog: The Fourth Doctor from <i>Doctor Who</i> (OMG EXAMS WHY)
Well, a little before midnight I packed it in on my paper; unfortunately, there's one major rough spot that I can't rhetorically sand away, so I'm e-mailing my prof to talk about it. D:

ExpandThe problem, if anyone's interested )

On the plus side, my summer class may not be as unpleasant as I was thinking it would be. I just finished one of the readings for the first day, entitled "Dancing With Professors" (you can read it here) which basically argues that academic prose is impenetrable because, and I quote, "professors are the ones nobody wanted to dance with in high school." That is, they're the ones who sat on the bleachers all "I'm thinking serious things in a very dignified way, I wouldn't want to dance even if you ASKED me, go away cretin," and that attitude carried over to academic writing. XD

(In semi-related news, have the Awful Guide to Graduate School. It's funny because it's actually not that far from true.)

Edit: My other reading for class today is pretty good too...how can you not like an article with the sentence "A real book manuscript doesn't look over its shoulder, worrying that Foucault is running after it in a hockey mask"? XDDDDD

OMG W00T

...Oh my god, the phone just rang, and it was NATHAN PETRELLI. (Okay, a prerecorded "campaign" recording, but still! It's the Pasdar's voice!) AWESOME, I'm so glad I'm playing the Heroes ARG. :D
