Sep. 8th, 2005 05:43 pmI have just written the most inane conclusion of my career. No, really, I think that I have never done one this bad, this stupid, this blatantly "I-have-know-idea-what-this-paper-is-doing-so-I'm-going-to-restate-my-thesis-and-throw-out-a-few-unsupported-generalities-and-hope-that-no-one-notices."
It's embarrassing. I need to rewrite. But, unfortunately, I don't really know where my paper is going. The first two thirds are a compare-contrast of Mozi and Kongzi's differing views of human nature. The last third is pretty much a hypothetical dialogue between my dad and the two philosophers. No, you did read that correctly. And so, I have absolutely no idea how to conclude.
Also, Scott and I were discussing the Latin quiz after class today, and it was revealed that I quite likely screwed up one of the translations. And then I was thinking about it some more, and I realised that the professor doesn't put macrons over the letters. So it's quite possible that I mixed up the nominative and ablative at some point. Noooo! Because if I don't get aperfect good score, that means that I don't understand it… right?
