well, I didn't flunk

But I did make a B-/C+ on the paper. (Don't you hate it when professors give you two grades like that?! I don't know how to tell if he'll factor the higher grade into my final or not. Maybe it depends on his mood at the time? :-|) Anyway, yeah. As expected, the first words of response were, "Where are the secondary sources?" But he went on to dissect my entire approach, saying I didn't follow his suggestions. Sorry, prof, but I did the best I could and attempted to follow your comments on my opening paragraph very closely. Obviously it just wasn't good enough. *sigh*

I shouldn't be so downcast. God willing, I'll still get a B in the course. But I am a perfectionist. I am, I am. It stinks that I am also a procrastinator. The two do not mix well. Why do negative comments always make me think of myself as a Lesser Individual?

On the brighter side: I am done. Done. Done! Never to darken the doors of a classroom again...uhh, until January 12. But I will not, will not think about that yet. I have many adventures awaiting between now and then.
