I seem to have shot myself in the foot with Kierkegaard. Three-page summary of the arguments (philosophical and religious) in Sickness Unto Death. Not a hard assignment; it's basically A) so the prof will have a grade back to us before the drop date and B) to make sure we understand the material. So I sort of stagger through it, with no real coherent theme, really just a chapter-by-chapter summary. I expect to get royally blasted for this ("Yeah, great, you can read and summarize, but your organizational skills are lacking. C-"), but instead I wind up with apparently one of the better essays in the class. This does not speak well of my classmates. It also means I've got that whole high expectations thing goingforagainst me with the other two papers. And they'll actually require thought and analysis. Bleh.
