10 Years After

Don't Panic

Today has been crazy. I was up until 3 am last night trying to print out my work for the take home test from Introduction to Linguistics. There were 4 questions of which 2 I had to answer plus a bonus question. Over the weekend I had worked all 4 questions in order to select the two I felt most confident in. I had put off the bonus until late last night by mistake.

I was suppose to lead the discussion in my DIalectology class today. However, I was confused over the sections so I did some and the rest was done ad-hoc by the entire class.

Tomorrow my Literary Criticism class starts the presentations for either reader-response or deconstructionist analysis of short stories. The hardest part was finding a short story I could read in 2 minutes. I finally selected a Winnie-the-Pooh story. I've, so far, only a rough idea of what I want to say. Since I managed to pull a 92% (A) on my last presentation I'm not too concerned. Most of my stress is on throwing in enough quotes and references to the main critics of reader-response theory.
