Well, that was anticlimatic...

I'm done! I'm done I'm done I'm done I'm done I'm done I'm done. I'll post more about the week that was tomorrow, probably, depending on how much I get done today.

I made a strange choice with my last paper, one that will definitely hurt my grade...but I think it's what I needed to do. Instead of writing the paper I was supposed to write, that I said I would write, I wrote a paper that was a bit more free form...I wrote my fare well to history. It just felt right...I hope he doesn't fail me over it, but I don't think he will, probably just give me a B- or a C+. :)

Still, there is something anticlimatic about turning in papers by e-mail. It lacks the visceral satisfaction of tossing a pile of paper onto the stack of everyone else's papers, turning around, releasing a breath in stunned relief that it's over...but even without that feeling, it doesn't change the fact that I'm done.

Only one semester left. :)

Mad props for writing the paper you *wanted* to write instead of writing the paper that was expected. You might be surprised - that strategy often pays off because papers like that tend to be more interesting and well-written because the writer isn't bored to tears by the whole process.

Here's hopin...but it wasn't a "good" paper in the school sense of things. No foot notes, for one. A lot of the use of the word "I" for another....:) Well, whatever, I'm not a history major any more. ;)
