Final(ly)
I just finished my last paper of the semester. Well, kinda. See this particular paper is a group paper, which is kinda nice because I only had to write 7 pages instead of 20, but here's the catch: we have to work together. I don't really like working with other people.
I just sent off my sections to the other two girls in my group, and I have this nagging fear that the jubilation I feel at being "done" is going to soon turn to bitterness when they want me to "improve" what I've written or perhaps add to it. See, I'm not a reviser. I know, I know, it's a weakness, but I just have never been able to do it. The funny thing is I'm really good at telling other people how to write their papers better, which comes from being an editor for 3 years. But if I were in their shoes and someone told me to change things, I'da been pisssed, with three s's. Guess I need to learn humility. Or maybe other people just need to learn to leave good enough alone.
Still... I'm celebrating today by packing. I can't wait to move! And I'll be back in the good old valley of salt one week from today. Get your party shoes ready. Or something.
