May. 14th, 2007 06:19 pmSome miscellaneous things:
1. If you are not in Smallville fandom, you may just have to accept that pairing smooshes are not for you! "Paire"? Are you serious?
2. I watched the entire first season of Friday Night Lights and now I have the urge to say "y'all" a lot and turn all my "really"s into "real"s. This is a real problem for soemone with a kiwi accent.
3. I got a couple of assignments back over the last two weeks - my ethics essay (A+ which I am so fucking thrilled with; I was actually having nightmares about that essay, which, yes, it does disturb me, but I really want to do well in that class and I just wasn't that happy with my finished product, so.) 3/20 for my math251 assignment, which could have been a lot worse. Um, a little bit worse. I answered about half a question, so, really, it could have been worse.
And 9/10 (A+) for my poetry essay. Which is fine and all, except for the first time ever I've had my style criticised. Um? Once for agreeing the reader with them (which, OK, I accept is a fair grammatical criticism) once for using although twice in a paragraph - really fair enough, ouch - and twice for the phrase "dealing with". :-/ It's apparently too colloquial, and while on reflection I could have used "addressed" - I don't know, I really feel that "deals with" says something more than "addresses". Siiiiiiiigh.
