Monday, 5 November 2012 08:09 amI wrote about eleven words, so now I'm at 6288. :D
I also wrote that stupid paper! It's only about five pages long, despite being a full ten paragraphs. In hindsight, I should probably have written more, but... Well, it gets better nearer the end, because that was when I started writing about things I actually sort of knew about. The quality probably then dips again around paragraph eight, which is where I picked it back up this morning... but, honestly, I don't really care. It's done! I have quotes in seven of ten paragraphs! I actually at least sort of know what I'm talking about! Which is kind of the entire point, really, so. (The best part is I did it all without reading a single word of the Fed/Anti-Fed essays, because everything I wanted to talk about was from stuff I'd already read. I didn't read very much Tocqueville in preparation, either! Although I did have to comb through about forty pages.)
I really hope he doesn't decide to collect the journals. I haven't done entries in three weeks. (He hasn't given a reading assignment in three weeks, either, since he sent it all out with the midterm information. Coincidence?)
Anyway, I got up earlier to finish that paper, so I have some free time now. I may as well try to catch up a bit on wordcount.
