wisdomeagleI am so whipping this term paper into submission. It's now seven out of ten required pages long. Of course, that's basically entirely quotes, and I'll be really happy if I can stop saying the same thing over and fucking over again. Basically, my term paper can be summed up as follows:
point 1) amnesia.
point 2) affects episodic memory.
point 3) and long-term memory
point 4) and the longer you've had the memory, the more likely you are to retain it (which leads to some interesting fic possibilities)
point 5) in conclusion, amnesia.
Which, you'll note, is 31 words long, and 7 of those words are more "personal application" than "actually going to go into the paper." 31 words != ten pages, believe it or not.
This is why the ability to bullshit comes in handy every once in awhile.
That said, I think another night's worth of work and I'll have arough draft crappy paper that I'll hand in and cross my fingers will earn get me an A.
Now I'm going to go read the novel called Toward Amnesia that I picked up serendipitously as a result of my decision to write about amnesia.
