I still would've had to remember to do that though. Didn't it air last weekend?

I still would've had to remember to do that though.

But it becomes like Netflix -- someone mentions it on line -- clickety click and then my lousy memory can go back to whatever it does instead of remembering thing.

They had actors playing actual citizens and how they reacted to the disaster.

I assume their reactions were: "WTF?!?" and "HOLY CRAP!!!"

Huh. My hips seem a little less bony. Maybe this whole "eating breakfast and lunch" thing is beginning to pay off.

I just wrote what I think is a fairly good poem. We have an assignment due tommorrow - an imitation of a Wallace Stevens poem. I wrote it on our "Leader."

My dad thinks that even though I go to a very liberal college, I probably shouldn't turn this in as my first piece, because "first impressions last." But, I like it. And I think it's good. But he's probably right. And not only do I hate that, but I also have to write a new poem. And any other topic is going to seem boring now.

Is that a bad thing? If it's a good poem, don't you want the professors to know you can write good poems?

Yeah, but what if he's the *one* conservative prof on campus?

It *shouldn't* matter. But do what you are comfortable with. Which will cause you more stress, worrying about the impression you make with this poem, or writing another one?

They're probably about equal. And, I'm afraid that anything else I write isn't going to be as good, because my heart's just not in it. I can't really come up with any other topic I want to write about. That's where I'm really struggle. I'm currently trying to write about the cat. But it's just not all that much fun.

vw, I'd say turn it in. If it's good, he'll recognize that. If he's the type who wouldn't, best to know that now.
