because I need to cross items off a list (hopefully)
I tend to write my lists in stepwise order, as you see below. I think it's the technical writer in me (documenting software and processes and what not). As I go alone, I'm not really following the order of the list...and I keep changing items in the list...but hey, things
look like they're getting done.
Sunday night/Monday morning
-
finish introductory section (5-6pp) of AmLit essay it was a good 1289 words, not 5-6pp but I'm happy with it note: so was my prof, who just took a virtual red pen to syntax and not ideas. hooray for not wandering into the Land of Misinterpreted Theories! I feel better about finishing this tonight.

take methods and theory essays to campus and either put in boxes or slide under doorsedited to add... I turned in the methods and theory essays on Monday night, slipped all the required things under the doors of profs who certainly weren't on campus at 6:30pm. It was a little sad to also take some books back to the library, but not
that sad. But it was funny how the parking garages were all very full at 6:30pm on a Monday, until I realized that it was also exam week so all the kiddies taking a final at 6 or 7pm were all dutifully parked on campus. We have a very full campus during the first week of class and exam week, and in-between not so much, go figure...
