Essay is done! Thanks in large part to helpful fellow group member. It's nice not to have to do the whole thing by yourself. I did some chopping and some referencing and some moving stuff around and I'm pretty happy with it. And regard the time! Bedtime! No later! AND I managed to watch The Border (although I have to admit I missed a few bits due to preoccupation with APA style, blech).

Good night!

"$8.7 million raised by the North Thompson Relief Fund, the Red Cross and the Salivation Army."

Thanks to one of my fellow group members, who threw herself on this grenade of an essay for me, I don't have much left to do. Format the references, make sense of the mess sent by Unhelpful Girl (I have already cut it in half just by taking out the irrelevancies), make the powerpoint presentation better (nearly done).

Assignment 2. Once again, I am pulling together the group essay. Situation is better than it was 2 hours ago, in that the person whose entry was missing in action has now sent in her stuff. It's in point form, but that's much better than the entry that appears to have been cobbled together without attribution or any kind of critical assessment from various reports (or maybe just 1 report -- it's all one paragraph and really shouldn't be, so it's a little hard to tell). The other 2 people have done a fine and acceptable job, just like last time. I think it'll be OK in the end, but ah, group work. How fraught with peril you are. (Particularly in a continuing education course where the academic backgrounds of the participants are, how to say this without sounding snobbish... mixed.)

Anyway, as I say, don't intend to stay up all night for this one. People can bloody well take what they get, and it's not due until Tuesday anyway.

Jen and I went out for lunch today and while we were out my dog ate:
- a breakfast pita that was sitting in its bag on Jen's counter
- part of a bag of low-fat carrot muffin mix that was sitting on my counter
- slivered almonds ditto

He gnawed on:
- an empty Gladware container that had held yogurt, also on Jen's counter
- an empty Gladware container that had held my lunch yesterday, out of my bag
- a Buffy the Backside Slayer bar, which apparently was not to his taste, also out of my bag

He rejected:
- three Bath Ballistics, also in my bag
- a jug of maple syrup on my counter (thank goodness -- that could have got messy)

Amazingly, he was not very interested in dinner. Otherwise he seems quite all right. Well, except that there's still some muffin mix caked in his beard. I thought his aunt [livejournal.com profile] raithen would likely prescribe belly lifts, so I have done some.

Brat.
