Semantically anamolous
Today, by most measures, is successful. I got up early, and got working early. I think I’ve pretty much finished my semantics paper. Worked on it until about 5, and that’s long enough to make any brain too addled to do any more good. Any paper you work that solidly on eventually all starts sounding like nonsense, so hopefully a restorative sleep tonight and some business in the morning will clear my mind enough for the final edit tomorrow. I did manage to get a bike ride to campus to drop off some library books, and make dinner tonight, before sitting down and doing some low-rev paper tidying tonight.
I had great help this morning (and a lovely conversation) from my Quechua professor, who is greatly amused that I’m doing a semantics project on Quechua. She seems really eager to help, and we actually talked on the phone for something like 40 minutes hammering out examples and working out the particulars of the verbs I’m decomposing. She also for some reason gave me 100% on the final, and said I got a 99.5% in the class. So… I suppose I should have not bothered to take this one pass/fail, but it did reduce the amount of stress I had over the class. And I’m feeling pretty inclined to take Quechua II, as it’s becoming rather amusing and interesting getting into the nitty gritty.
Tomorrow I’ll turn in my report to for my independent research class (another pass/fail, by design) and pick up the final exams from the intro phonology students to grade this weekend. I do hope the exam isn’t a long one, I’m really feeling ready for break. I got a jump on my neurosciecne “quiz” tonight and it’s not going to be too terrible. I’m kinda hoping to be done with everything but my grading tomorrow night. Boy, it doesn’t even quite seem possible, does it? I shouldn’t put too much stock in that one. I bet it takes me through Saturday, when all these things are actually due. But I’ll get some time off after that, eh?
