My paper

Uggh!  I’m in the process of re-writing my thesis–possibly.  After writing so much I actually came to think I should take up the opposite argument that I was proposing.  I’m wondering if this could be a big mistake and cause me more headaches in the long run.  My thesis was about how traditions can stop you from being a sovereign or independant thinker, and how it can stop you from questioning these traditions.  What I’m thinking is that some situations, being a common thinker or a follower helped to focus and bond the family to help in dealing with living in harsh conditions.  This is what I think is fundamentaly correct, but I’m wondering how to fit in the examples from Percy.  I guess I just have to get over this conception that an expert thinker is good and common is bad.  It depends on the situation.

Oh Happy!

Happy sent my paper back the other day and it was bleeding red!  I did have someone review it prior to having Happy look at it.  It didn’t seem to help much.  The person who looked it over and myself should be shot.  The other pain in the neck is that I haven’t had my textbook for almost two weeks.  I frequently used it as a reference.  I know I left it somewhere in my work travels.  I usually bring my books with me when I go to work.  If I have time during lunch or during a break, I try to look over homework.  At least thats what I was telling myself I should do.  When that actually happens is open for debate.  So my textbookis laying around at some remote cell site building somewhere in Virginia.  I’m responsible for around 40 sites.  We work out of an office, but if things break or need maintenance at one of those sites I’m responsible for I’ll be notified.  Pretty exciting stuff?
