I have a final tomorrow that I fully expect to bomb.

I got my long-awaited thesis comments back today. One of my readers misread my entire argument. Of course it's the one who chose to remain anonymous, so I can't even talk to them about it. So much of my heart and soul and sanity poured into that stupid paper, and now I'm having a really hard time convincing myself that I produced anything worthwhile.

I feel... empty tonight. Adrift. I'm tired of going through the motions, sleepwalking my way through school because I don't know what else to do with myself. I feel consumed by apathy, empty and weighted down all at once.

Alone and tired and confused. Just want to snuggle with a boy in a giant comfy bed and never have to think again. Strange-- I used to really like thinking. How sad.

How many readers were there?
Did the others get it?
Good luck, Brave Warrior.

**One of my readers misread my entire argument** Clearly, they let a stupid person read your paper. Mixing stupidity w/ intelligence, especially when the intelligence is in written form, is a huge mistake.

**Strange-- I used to really like thinking** So did I. Then I realized that I still do, I just don't like thinking about things people tell me about. =)

We're almost done!

Mel, that's one reader . . . what did the other(s) say? What about Rabkin? Since you didn't mention them, I will assume good things, especially in light of Rabkin's comment to you a few weeks ago: what then is one mininterpretation?
