Wow- I guess writing sarcastic and/or legitimate comments on other people's blogs has really made me neglect my own. So sorry. I'm sure me not officially blogging has really changed the course of time.... wold0090 2004-12-03T12:46:00-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/wold0090/litlog/010954.html You all know I hate the idea of radical revision, especially since I feel it's absolutely necessary for success in this class. I can't stand the idea of taking everything that I've written and scrapping it like I never started.... wold0090 2004-11-19T11:25:28-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/wold0090/litlog/010542.html Does anyone else prefer consulting over actually doing anything to their own papers? It's so much more low maintenance. Mentally, I'm shot at the moment. If anyone mentions a thesis or a topic sentence to me, I swear I'll scream.... wold0090 2004-11-16T00:33:47-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/wold0090/litlog/010301.html I was looking over our syllabus and trying to come up with some sort of broad opinion about the readings we've done. Right. It's like asking yourself to come up with one opinion on everything about our political situation. Some... wold0090 2004-11-12T13:10:22-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/wold0090/litlog/009036.html I just had a short session with a student who had a paragraph personal statement. She said she had friends look at it, and half of them thought it was ok and half of them didn't like it.

I was talking to Tom in the Center about tutoring "thirtysomethings," and we got really into our conversation. We both got really animated with hand gestures and all that. It was great! Then I turn to... wold0090 2004-10-18T14:02:21-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/wold0090/litlog/007716.html The whole "teacher, heal thyself" mantra flashed through my head when we got our drafts back yesterday.

She had answered the study questions the professor had offered instead of the questions the paper asked for, and the result was an... wold0090 2004-10-01T12:13:58-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/wold0090/litlog/006428.html I heard a sad story today. My friend, LAURA AARSVOLD, had an assignment that she didn't have enough information for. The assignment was to look up LAURA AARSVOLD on Google and report what came up.
