theyellowhobbit+I finally have the paper that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cynara_linnaea wrote on me. It's a PDF document. I asked her if she has the uber-expensive real adobe. No, she has something called Open Office. Which you can download online. For free. I think my life has been changed forever.
-The Hellerstein paper is still in it's elementary stages. So I decided to be completely honest and send her an e-mail.
Dear Professor Hellerstein,
I've spent all of last week working on a paper for my Biblical Archaeology class, which took much longer than expected (I've spent at least 15 hours on it and I'm still nowhere near done) and I and was undergoing a lot of stress during that time, and as a result, didn't get to think about your paper until yesterday, and didn't realize that we were supposed to clear our paper topic with you beforehand. I still am in that process of deciding my paper topic right now, and I still have another exam on Friday.
So since I haven't had a chance to clear the paper with you yet, and it's due in 5 hours, and I'd rather do a good job on your paper, the other paper, and my final on Friday, I was wondering if I could take an incomplete for the semester for now and give you the paper next week. I'll be around for most of May, so I can even hand it in personally.
In terms of topic, I was thinking of comparing "My mother's dream" and "the new world," talking about women's roles, though obviously it needs to be more fine-tuned than that.
Will you be around at all today?
Thanks,
~Rachel
P.S. I realize also that I still haven't sent you the letter about my Jewish studies thesis that I'll be writing to professors Stern, Eichler, and Tigay. I'll try to do that today. How much should I include about my thesis? A broad summary or something more like a prospectus?
-And the Ben paper? Still not finished.
I also have a review for the Primates final, at the same time as the OCP BBQ/Auction. So I'm staying at the review for the first 30-45 minutes, and then leaving, so I can get food, and get auctioned off.
I donated a deli-roll, a batch of biscotti [yes, a whole batch. That's a lot of biscotti. Win new friends, get extensions, get that girl/guy in you've been staring at through the mechitza to pay attention to you*. Yours, if you win this item] and a kippah, which will be made to the specifications of the winner, male or female. Females can either wear one themselves or have one made for that special guy in their life. Actually, I would love it if a guy won it and wanted one made for a girl. That would make my day.
If people were willing to pay 150$ I would donate a blanket. That's my minimum asking price. And yes, I know the money goes to charity and not me. But I wouldn't go through that effort for anything less. It's like a lot of crocheting, and I still have this blanket to finish.
I miss knitting. Can someone commission a knitting project? Please? It's getting close to mother's day, and I bet your mom would like a really nice scarf. [Hehe. Your mom would like a scarf!]
*Extensions and romances are not guaranteed. Friends are. If you give out biscotti, you will make at least one new friend. If not, I'll be your friend since you bid on my shiny item of shinyness.
