Huh... I never knew boolean operators had to be in caps for Google searches. Makes sense, though, when you think about it. I mean, since searches aren't case sensitive, it makes a convenient way to actually search for the words "or" or "not". You learn something new every day. ^_^

the upcoming freshman comp. assignment
Feb. 26th, 2007 11:26 pmFor this paper, you will be using the texts and tools available through the library to research a particular time, place, and topic, and write a 1,500+ word paper. The topic has to be relevant to a class in American multiculturalism, which means that your paper should take into account at least two cultures that were affected by the time, place, and topic. If you need help thinking of a subject, try going back to Topic Suggestions for Paper 1 (available as part of the Definition Paper Assignment Sheet).
Keep the four aspects—multiple cultures, time, place, and topic—in mind as you think about a subject. You could do something like Chinese immigrant poets and the Beats in San Francisco during the 1950s, or the Chicago blues scene and the zoning commissions in the 1960s, or the GLBTQI people wanting to march in Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in the 1990s. . . . Is there some part of your own or your family's history that you would like to place in an historical context?
Ouch... This paper sounds like it'll be a bitch. And I'm not even done with my current paper yet. ><;
Also... I've decided that not only do I like the movie Spirited Away better than Howl's Moving Castle; I also greatly prefer the Spirited Away soundtrack. (Not to say that I thought Howl's Moving Castle was a bad movie - it just was a bit of a let-down for me.)
[EDIT: I just sent an e-mail to my freshman comp. teacher asking if I could meet with her tomorrow or on Wednesday for help with my analysis paper. *crosses my fingers*]
