It is not fair how I have finally got my second wind for this religion midterm at one in the morning the day before my pre-calc midterm, by the way, okay. Maybe if I can just finish part one I will still be inspired to write part two to-morrow.

Also, I cannot actually put "Dante was a shameless fanboy" into a serious essay, can I? ...I thought not. Because he WAS.

... How serious is the professor? Maybe you can stick it into a footnote. Or make it the title or subtitle.

I've actually gotten away with using things like that for the titles of serious essays before. All about the professor...

That is the THING. The way he is, I cannot totally be one-hundred per-cent sure he would not think it was hilarious. But on the other hand--what if he didn't? And then he marked points off? But COME ON, he's going to be SARAH PALIN for Hallowe'en! But--

&c.

He is? Really? Hee!

I advise you to find pretentious synonyms. :D

Yes! It'll be hilarious, because he has this very pronounced widow's peak, and I am just dying to see how he will incorporate Ms. Palin's HAIR into his own, and--

...yes. I LOVE this professor.

He'll likely love it. And if he doesn't, he'll likely just circle it and mark it with a "?" meaning "wtf?" and go on, and even if he does mark it off, that's, like, 1 point, for reals. If he doesn't? He will be absolutely in love with you as a student.

Maybe I will. MAYBE.

Bear in mind that this is the "you'd be eaten by predators" professor.

AGREED. DO IT. If I were your professor, I would put a gigantic smile-mark beside it ... then make a note as to whether you'd supported that claim.

Awww! Adorable cashiers for the win.

<3 Hang in there.

She was so super.

Working on it. <3 I think once I get this midterm done I will have so much less to panic about.

I sent you moozik!

O! Eeee. Even more reason to do this.

Y'know, I'm going to have to agree. Snickers are excellent crisis-candy.

Actually, yes. They are.
