ifeelbetterI am presenting at the NeMLA (that's "Northeast Modern Language Association" for those not in the biz--and, yes, I just used "biz" to mean "dorks who read books all the time but like totally professionally") at my alma mater, Rutgers. My paper is utter and complete drivel but, oh well. If the humiliation doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger....right?
My paper is about deception, Darwin, detective fiction, and women. It was vastly under-developed at 25 pages. Now I have to pare it down all the way to 9. And I just wrote four new pages when I was supposed to be cutting. Whyyyyyy am I epic fail?
I feel like this cat is my spirit animal right now:
