I have finally finished the second paper in my research project…except I don’t have an introduction…or a conclusion….i guess I’m not really finished…as I write this paper I realize only 2 people are really going to read a twenty page paper…and to think I still have to write three others…that’s another thirty pages…that’s a total of...
Babelgum: Pushkin →
That darn Pushkin
one week until liberté, égalité, fraternité (ou la mort)
