What are you doing right now?

[severine]

Can you get marked down for failure to follow directions? My profs would have. "The path to hell is paved with good intentions."

Goodness, I hope not! Final product (still needs to be edited) is 2985 words. She said she wanted detailed entries. She probably figured nobody had that much to say about 1 day in their lives. :lol:

Can't they wait for the weekend? Or until they walk away on their own?

I wish!!!! I HATE washing the dishes!

watching the Hurricane coverage..

Ike is way more formidable than Hanna (125mph vs. 65mph.) Whatever Ike hits is going to cause some serious damage.

Unless you know this prof well, I'd seriously think about dropping her a note to confirm your presumption. I know lots of professorial types and while some reward extra effort, some also abhor having to read too much and will credit you appropriately. I've seen people knocked down a grade for going over the proscription. Seriously. I hope I'm wrong.

If I was teaching, I'd give more credit to quality over quantity. I don't want to discourage, just level-set and be sure you're matching the assignment expectation.

Also, remember that your prof will be reading not just yours, but all the other students in your class too. If it's a big class, that prof will probably appreciate quality and brevity over quality and quantity, especially along about the 30th one their reading.

I run into this quite often, where when I tend to write things, as my wife puts it, I'll often get "diarrhea of the mouth" and the words just keep flowing on out. My wife's parent's are both retired college profs, and from years of writing journal articles/texts, etc they've become very good at editing, and passed that trait onto her. As a result, she'll often take something I've written and cut out 1/2 the words, and once I've swallowed my pride and re-read her edited version of my "masterpiece", 9 times out of 10, her condensed version of my work not only reads faster, but is also a better piece of work.

There are 8 people in my class. I've had this professor before. Yes, quality over quantity. It was not intentionally long; I had a lot to say. She also allows as many revisions as you want before you get a final grade. Like I said, she asked for a detailed entry just like the author we were reading (who also had long entries... most were 12-20 pages for each day). But I am shooting off an email to her anyway to ask a formatting question and I will ask her opinion. Thanks.

I just went out and checked out 4 tombstones..basic rubbings, photos and measurements..I get out of work in an hour and at 2:30PM I'm playing in a huge online poker tournement. I won a smaller tournement to win a free seat into this. There will likely be 4-6,000 participants with a 1+ million dollar prize pool up for grab..my seat would normally be $215...I hope to play really solid and make it to the money and from there maybe make it big...last years winner of this tournement won $160,000 and it last for 15 hours..I better buy some red bull just in case I go deep..

On pokerstars??? Here is the schedule for the WCOOP..World Championship of Online Poker. I'm playing in the NL Hold Em..6-max..meaning there's 6-people per table instead of 9. http://www.pokerstars.com/wcoop/

The Main Event on September 21st offers what could be the richest prizepool in online poker. Unfortunately the buy-in is $5200..but I'll most likely try to get a seat through online Satallite qualifiers. I earned my $215 seat in today event through a $4 rebuy tournement.

Pokerstars yes, but I'm wrong... he's playing the limit event tomorrow... though I was just talking to him and I think he's going to play the NL 6-max this afternoon.

He's pretty good. He spent a couple of years not working and just playing online poker... He just came back to work a few months ago but only because he was bored with not working.

Just heard back from my professor and it was good news. The 550 words was the basis for grading... more words are fine, you actually lose less points for each error then. Since we're able to edit these several times before submitting for final grading, I'm not concerned.

Right now, I'm getting the kids ready to go swimming with their grandpa.

Back from the Farmers Market which was closed for the past few weeks due to the Great Allentown Fair...I got some goodies to eat during my poker tournement and a couple cans of Sugar Free Redbull as well..

Tradin and scalpin, it ain't pretty out there. 8 days tobaccy free is my big accomplishment for September. Prolly packed on 3-5 pounds eating like a pig in the past week.

I'll second that!

And in a few more days you'll realize how disgusting smokers smell.

Thanks guys.

Kids are swimming with grandpa. I went to the post office and grocery store. I should vacuum but I'd like to take advantage of the peace and quiet and just chill for a while... it's been a long week.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Busted out of poker tournement oh well..I made it a whole 50 minutes before I took a bad beat...doh
