aaallll doooooone I somehow pulled a 20-something page paper out of my ass last night--it's about something having to do with Africa, don't ask me what--and after finally finishing the take-home week-long hellish stats final, I'm officially All Done With the Semester From Hell. Even if I don't pass stats--a distinct possibility when "fail" equals a B-minus and that final went as badly as it did--it won't be nearly as hard a second time, and I might actually get something out of it. I've made peace with the idea that if I am going to "fail" a class for the first time in my life, I reckon that a graduate seminar in statistics at the Best Damn University in the World is a pretty good place to do it.

Today I have done n-o-t-h-i-n-g except contemplate making some guacamole and read Dan Savage's gay marriage book.  ¶ 10:44 AM
