in which i am saved!

just had e-mail from OE professor to entire class:

"Please bring your textbook to the OE exam so that you can use the glossary. This will save me some time in making it up, and possibly make it just slightly easier for you. You will be on your honor to use only the glossary and not to look up paradigms, check footnotes, etc."

just slightly easier, forsooth! lately i've been losing points like a mad thing on the bi-weekly quizzes, and it's mostly been because i can't retain vocabulary worth a damn. i've been known to make errors on identifying number and case and tense and whatnot as well -- the most egregious being "number: genitive" (and funnily enough, the girl next to me had "case: plural" on the same quiz), but some actually involving not knowing the answer instead of silly wire-crossing mistakes -- and the presence of the glossary will also make this easier. hot damn! and the textbook is spiral-bound; shoot, i'll take it apart and bring only the glossary if that makes him feel any better.

this has cut my study time by about six hours. i couldn't be more delighted. (well, i could, but that would involve the paper being finished. better get back to it.)

Yeah! That's great, and very sensible. In today's world, I think it is more important for a student to be able to find, and make sense of, resources than to memorize the whole damn book.

so what are you doing wasting time reading this comment? *g* Back to the salt mines [crack!]
