Conference w/ Aaron

17 May 2011

So I met with our fearless leader and I think it went quite well! Don't get me wrong the ten minutes of him reading the paper I had spent ten days writing was nerve racking. Sitting there in silence while he judged my paper and by extension me, not the highlight of my day, but I got through it. To be honest the only thing that made me calm down was analysing his office. I have never seen a professors office with such decor, and I liked it! It gave me confidence that even though my paper could be the worst piece of writing the English department has ever encountered, we could still have an in depth conversation about "Rocky Horror Picture Show." That's right, I creeped. What else was I suppose to do while he read through my paper? Yes, he also had "Kiss" memorabilia and even though I appreciate the length of Gene's tongue and the plat form boots as much as the next person, anyone can have a conversation revolving around the most popular hard rock band. No what would set me apart was Dr. Frank-N-Furter and the "Time warp" Dance. Now we all knew that Aaron is not like any other professor. Lets be real, no other professor would let us call them by their first name and would not be as honest about their opinion on the issues in modern day society. Aaron is cool. Back to the conference, even though I had thought through a well planned back up plan it was not needed. I know, I even had my dance shoes on, and for nothing! But its probably for the best, I mean the class is about the ten page research paper. I tend to forget that though. The paper seems like such a small part considering all the other work we've done thus far. However, I see how it all relate, well I see how most of it is relevant. And Aaron had had some great insight for my paper. I knew it wasn't perfect or even great, but he helped me fill in the gaps. I have an issue knowing what I want to say but it doesn't show up on paper in the same manor. Also, (it's very exciting, or at least just for me) I finally figured out this literature review thing! I didn't understand the stupid thing and I know I'm calling it stupid just because I didn't understand it. Aaron however explained it again for the 100th time, I -put that poor man through so much crap...sorry! But now I get it!! Victory! I mean who ever said the third time was the charm had never met me, I like to defy the laws of nature and got further, so the forth time is the charm for this girl! Now comes the challenge...EDITING! I hate editing, all most as much as I hate writing the draft. But at least part of the hard work is over. Now I just have to clarify because all my ideas and proofs are written I just have to prove them, so that my audience understands them. Hey, they make sense to me, it makes sense in my head...oh wait, that's where the disconnect is! It makes sense now, oops! Ok, you persuaded me, I'll edit the paper! You drive a hard bargain but I see you point.

Love,
I defy the laws of nature and society!
