More on NJ suing Blockbuster for fraud.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just got an email from a professor that, yes, I should be prepared to do a presentation tonight. (I emailed last week to check -- the scheduling has been all screwed up.) Good thing I'm (pretending to be) working on it already!

Wow, Lee, go you! And that will mean that your working schedule will be a bit less 24/7? I hope it will. You definitely deserve it.
Jesse, good luck on the presentation.

It's no big thing, but more than 4 hours' notice would have been nice. Speaking of which, maybe I had better buckle down a little.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Jesse, better switch from pretending to work to pretending to work HARD.

Possibly closing this window would be a good start.... I've got the highlights, mostly what I need to do is rephrase stuff so I can say it out loud.

Well, that doesn't sound like pretending at all!

Oh, Jesse reminded me (sorry for using your pains to talk about meMeME) - remember the article I had to talk about in class on Sunday, the one I couldn't begin to understand until I sat and translated parts of it word-for-word into Hebrew?
Well, in class I said at the beginning that there were lots of things that were unclear to me in the text (because, well, had I not, it would have been pretty clear when I started talking). It turned out? Some parts, the most difficult ones, in which the writer talks about another French philosopher (Serres) - the professor of my class, whom nobody can suspect in lack or knowledge or understanding, said that he himself doesn't understand what he's talking about! I felt in such good company when he said it, I had to fight the urge to pump my fist and go "Yes!" out loud on the spot (Um, in Hebrew). Then some other parts that were not clear enough, the professor talked about and explained that the ideas in them were only half-baked and still not completely clear to the writer himself, and we'll learn later in the semester the book in which he writes them properly, and I was so very relieved that it wasn't just me, it was also the person who actually wrote the thing. So, all in all, I think that it went OK. With the parts that I did get to talk about, that is.

That's great, Nilly! It's always good to find out that things that don't make sense to you really and truly don't make sense.
