The Beast and Dragon Adored
Despite the feeling that i've been "slacking off" in my classes (i use this term loosely because, no matter what i do, i always feel like i'm slacking off- i think the only way to alleviate this would be to sit at home day and night crying into course packets and sniffing highlighters. and even then i'm not sure it would work.), i received some good news today, letting me know that my methods are indeed solid, and at that, desirable! First i got back my poetry paper, which smelled slightly of mothballs and gin, but nevertheless bore an A, a plethora of check marks, and multiple encouraging words. let me brag for just a minute because i never thought one of my papers would bear the folowing words: "superbly rich, insightful explication, written with clarity, verve, and imagination!" well, it might just be the gin talking, professor, but thanks!
next was czech modern literature. as he prefaced handing out papers with, "rewrites are due on halloween," i was a bit worried. but no, my fond readers! i received a page attached with a cartoon about porcupines, a compliment on the title which employed profuse alliteration, and a nice, round 95.
so enough gloating, as surely it will bring bad luck upon me. of course, for these two papers, i kind of neglected studying for my human sexuality test. but i still recieved a high B, which is good enough for the first test- especially as what i tripped up on was the anatomy and physiology, which is never easy. ironically enough, the most confusing section for me was over my own lady parts. but the course has no cumulative final and i can always study that for my own benefit later. so many variables and processes to learn...
"the raygin gland, located and exerting pressure on the uterus and fallopian tubes from time to time, serves to excrete wacky hormones into the female's system. these hormones' effect have a varied range on different women; a typical female can be afflicted with anything from a bit of moodiness to a one-way trip to crazyville. during this time, the female is best placated with flattery and chocolate. note that the male's distance to safety ratio in relation to the female is strongly connected."

Sweet paint skillz. word. I love how in the picture the uterus is shown (upright). Wtf? Now, I don't think the uterus is one to lay down or slump over but I could be wrong. Hah, me wrong.
Go Longhorns!
Oh, wait...
