gizzhead's Diaryland Diary

For no one's better sake.

Reading the last paper I wrote for Story of the Devil in comparison with this new one I'm going to hand in today is... enlightening. My last one was pretty good. This one is not. My idea is better this time I think, more difficult and original, but it's not at all focused and I only graze the surface of what I'm talking about most times. I gave my professor a one-sentence rundown of my topic last week and he said he'd never thought of it before, which can be good for originality points and bad if I'm not persuasive enough, which probably I'm not. Though, in peer editing last week a kid was comparing Faust to Lethal Weapon and Toy Story in a very... not serious way, so maybe I'm all right.

More obsessing: the syllabus says we are allowed one guilt-free extension on a paper but I know I'm not going to work on this over Thanksgiving. Plus we can rewrite any paper below a B for half-credit and my idea for my final paper is solid so in theory it will be hard for me to get anything below a B in the class so maybe I should calm the fuck down and keep working, or start editing that Max Ernst paper that I keep forgetting is due IN AN HOUR.
