my first thought was, "ok so someone is having a worse day than me."
second, what were they doing opening it, taking it, and discarding the box in the stairwell? #openthread

Make as detailed an outline as you can be bothered with.
Keep track of sources/citations. I'd add sources to the bibliography while looking at them, really.
Have a game plan, as in, give yourself deadlines. It got me through my PhD. Without the game plan I'd still be procrastinating. #openthread

I always try to do *something* with my long stuff (in this case, my dissertation) five days a week. Even if I don't write-write, I will outline something, or scribble down ideas, or do reading I still have to do. Then when I do write, material tends to come fairly quickly. But I'm also the kind of person who works best when there's a bit of pressure, so that might not be for you. #openthread

I teach research writing in the spring, and my students gave very good reviews to Research Papers: A Guide and Workbook (Arkin & Macheski). It's pretty basic for senior level, but sometimes it helps to have everything all laid out for you. #openthread

Feeling your pain with the unemployment, glad you've now got something. Cross your fingers for me and my 2 interviews this week (also Xmas fill-ins). #openthread

I have some amazing black ankle boots, and the black with black makes your legs look a trillion miles long.
Or go with a metallic, or pick a dominant colour from the rest of your outfit and get a little matchy-matchy.
I like to match bright jewel tones in my earrings/necklace to my shoes too! #openthread

My favorite look with black tights or better yet, leggings for warmth, is brushed leather or suede boots or booties. I realize the suede can be ruined by the weather, but the soft texture of the legs and matte/non reflective boot does elongate your legs!
Try to match your tights color to your shoe for the same effect. No reason to always stay with black. #openthread

And then you realize that it wouldn't have been bad if you'd worked tonight like you were supposed to, and now there's going to be so much tomorrow that you'll be up late stressing?
In other words -- who else loves grad school? #openthread

So, basically Jezebel on Sunday nights is where grad students come to not do work? Good to know! #openthread

I feel like my Jezebel posting comes in waves. And it's always most prolific when I have a lot of shit to get done.
Besides classes, I have to get the rest of my applications together for PhD programs. Any Jezebels doing Early Modern lit? Recommend any programs? #openthread

If anyone with a Facebook account would like to join, please check out the post I made in the Facebook rape group thread here [jezebel.com]
In addition, here are 10-20 of the "it's not rape, its surprise sex" groups for anyone interested in reporting:
[www.facebook.com]
[www.facebook.com]
[www.facebook.com]
[www.facebook.com]
[www.facebook.com]
[www.facebook.com]
[www.facebook.com]

It really surprises me how many of these groups are run by girls. This one (not pasted above) is apparently just girls bitching so I didn't report it. I'm sure it is a line from something, but these are some pretty fucked up groups.
I think Facebook's issue is really that it doesn't review groups without a report. So if a bunch of us report these sites, we could make Facebook a far less fucked up place.
I know this will eventually get pushed all the way down the page, so maybe someone who is feeling similarly avengerish could post some more links later tonight? I searched rape for the links I left on the Facebook post, but I only made it through the first 120/500+. Between this post and the one on the other thread, I've gone through the first 20/133 that come up when you search for rape surprise.
Come on Jezzies! #openthread

I have an IUD that nearing the end of it's life (supposed to have it out in May), and I can tell. I'm starting to have more frequent periods, which makes me think the hormones are running out and now I'm terrified of getting pregnant, or worse having an ectopic pregnancy while uninsured.
*sigh*
Of course, this happened a year ago, and I ended up having a lap to remove scar tissue and adhesions. Something else I can't afford without insurance. Please god let reform happen soon!

In happier news, I spent the day baking, and have been knitting up a storm. I posted a couple things I've finished to the punk_knitters community on livejournal, and people want my patterns! And one was favorited on Ravelry! Squeeee! #openthread

"Magical Negro" charecters are a real problem, but I don't think the answer is to never make a film about a black person who helps a white person. I think people should at least wait to see the film. #openthread
