JOY TO THE WORLD~

So very, very happy I finished my paper on time. WHEW. Writing that fast felt like finishing a marathon as gloriously as possible without all the external glitter and all of the internal ones. But it was kinda fun, in a semi-masochistic way considering how the process of research and organizing that research can be both incredibly interesting and creatively painful.

I found that getting my Works Cited page in order was what almost made me submit my paper late -- I neglected organizing my Works Cited until I finished the paper, so there I was with only 10 minutes left and a glitchy computer causing me to type at a slower speed than my usual breakneck pace. And then I realized that converting from single-spaced to double-spaced text all over really messes with the original formatting. And then I forgot to cite my Daniel Deronda text of all things. This meant I had a Works Cited floating in the middle of a page, and Works Consulted separated from the Works Cited by an entire blank page, and a missing citation. Ergghhh. I really need to take mine to the LTS sometime...

But hey, everyone, we're done! Cheers, and have a cute otter pup!
