Lunchtime Report

I got a nice compliment from my insane professor today. After a full length lecture of him calling on the international students and making them explain their religious and cultural views and how different they are from the Judeo-Christian views we got back our journals. We turned our journals in before break. I had spent forever retyping my notes to be sure that it was as accurate as possible and as nice as possible. He held my journal up in front of the whole class and said that I was one of the view who understood the assignment. He went on and on about how great I was. I hated it really. It's nice to know that my journal was the best in the class, but I know that the only reason my journal looks so good is because I basically wrote my papers at school. Normally there is no record of my thought process for papers because I write them at a computer. If I want to rearrange things or plan things out, I drag sentences around. I wrote my papers during class so I had to do a bit more planning if I didn't want to spend forever writing and rewriting things out. I had mind-maps and other sketches and outlines for where I wanted the paper to go. And I put those things into the journal. That is why mine was the best.

He also said I was definitely ready for graduate school. Now I wish the people in Uppsala would magically hear him and agree with him! All I can do is that the people at Uppsala University think I'm a genius too! Hopefully for more real reasons than my insane professor though.

I might put another entry in after work today, we'll see.
