I want to do a good job on this paper for last semester. I suspect if I turn in what I have I’ll get at least a C. More than good enough to pass. But my current paper sucks. It’s poorly researched, the thesis is uninspired. It’s fairly well written. But I dislike turning in crap. I feel like I could take this paper somewhere and learn from it. Or I could turn it in as written (on my second deadline) and pass, and graduate. Lovely. Education v Grading, as pointed out, are very much not the same thing. <\/p>\n

And some guy I’ve never met on a hookup site corrected me when I said I was a slacker, saying I’m just overcommitted. Not unlike the comment I received from my politics and public affairs professor, who was passive-aggressively criticizing me by saying it’s a great tragedy when really bright people overcommit. How the fuck would she know whether or not I’m brilliant? I don’t talk much in class, and I got a 33\/77 on her midterm (which was a C, btw, a 73% was apparently an A). Ugh.<\/p>\n

And also WAA’s comment about people with great oars who don’t row well at all v people with paper cups who use that more effectively. <\/p>\n

In case it’s unclear, I’m partially frustrated with myself, partially frustrated with the expectations people have of me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
