Even though I still struggle with writing for school, I know I've come a long way over the last few semesters. Yesterday, I got the most wonderful feedback on my expository writing assignment, and it completely made my day. I'm really proud of myself!

I was hoping that the momentum from that would carry me through the paper I tried to write last night. That didn't go quite like I had hoped, though. Don't get me wrong, I got work done, but I did NOT finish the paper. Fortunately, I took some time to work on it during the day today, and I think I finally broke through the wall.

Instead of me vs. the paper, it finally feels like it's flowing smoothly from my readings, to notes, to ideas, to words on the page (or on the computer screen, really). I still have a bunch of writing to do, and since the paper is already late (1/3 grade deduction), I need to turn it in early tomorrow to avoid further penalties.

Anyway... that's me and my writing.

In other school-related news, I met with my advisor today to make sure that I haven't overlooked anything in my plans to graduate in the spring. The good news is that I didn't miss anything, and I should be set with the two classes I'm taking now and the two I plan to take next semester. The bad news is that I can't double count the same classes for a Field of Study (sort of like a major) and a Liberal Arts Citation (sort of like a minor), so I will only be eligible for the one (FoS in Bio), not both (I was thinking about a citation in Psych).

Oh well!
