When an subject is controversial, one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one's audience the the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the predjudices, the idiosyncracies of the speaker.

Dateline 3/18

TGIF. I slept in and then ran around like mad doing everything I needed to do. I met with the biomech TF, convinced him to change my grade, and then walked by the lab I work for and remembered that I was supposed to be there for a meeting. I got out of that, went to a control systems discussion, and then met with my writing professor. I really hate writing. I have always been of the opinion that the grading in writing classes is very random, and WR 150 is affirming this opinion. Some professors say to open up generally and some say start specific. Today all of a sudden it is a rule that you should not start a sentence with a demonstrative pronoun. (although apparently this wasn’t a rule on my last paper) also the Prof. simply disagrees with 2 of my 4 analysis points. I really wish she would just grade the paper as on style and mechanics and ignore the message. I am not good at sucking up, and even worse, are next unit seems to be on the theme of feminism (Virginia Woolf). I get the feeling that this is going to go downhill quickly.

As for the rest of the day, I went grocery shopping, followed up on some summer job stuff, downloaded music, did lots of work, and watched sports. And speaking of sports, how about Vermont? They are the only tournament team I saw in person this season and I like an underdog, but they keep beating BU and I picked SU to go deep. Well it is nice to see the America East conference take a game in the big dance.
