From the Mailbox

Hey Feemus,
For the essay do you want some kind of a thesis, or can we just write a list?

thanks,
Lazy Senior


A list? A list? What kind of a list? A grocery list? A list of books you've read but don't want to discuss? A to-do list? A Franz Liszt?

Is this what he had in mind?:

The Role of the City-State in Antigone

Milk
Broccoli
Get haircut
Piano Concerto no. 2 in A Major
Fabric softener
The Sun Also Rises
pick up new meds
In Search of Lost Time
email Feemus question that I already know the answer to
and, in conclusion, Kleenex.

And then I got this one:
Dear Feemus,

I know that you're probably busy, but can you calculate what grade I need to get on the final in order to get a B in this class?

thanks,
Lost his Calculator and his Mind

What I don't get it this: it's an ESSAY exam. If, say, he needed an 87% in order to get a B in the course, would he quit writing the essay 87% of the way through?

  • I'm not sure, Feemus, but I think this may be the funniest yet. Seriously though...I keep trying to imagine what kind of list would do as a substitute for a thesis...like...nope, can't see it. I keep trying though.

    I've been in Wisconsin again, very busy. It's nice to come back to my favorite blogs.

  • I have NO idea what kind of a list he meant. Part of me wants to know, but part of me thinks we're better off in ignorance on this one.

    These email would be funnier if I didn't have to answer them.

    I'm keeping a good thought that everything's ok in Wisconsin.
