she says
I feel like i'm writing complete bullshit!"
yesss

pfff thats nothing
If you're writing complete bullshit
then you're doing something right

i know but we only have 3 essays a quarter

What is the topic

jackie says thank you, that makes her feel better about herself

/what sources are you supposed to work from

shes writing about
she doesn't know lol
shes writing abour revolutionary movements during the 1840s and 1860s

sounds easy enough
the thesis can be always be wrong
Just say like "They had a huge impact on blank"

im telling her this
she says she doesn't have a thesis

and then three pages of citing stuff with some bogus analysis
and then conclusion: "They didn't have an impact on blank after all"

shesl aughing good job
im tryijgn to tell her what to write but its not doing very well

How many movements were there
Main ones, a bunch, interrelated ones?

there were 2 sort of rival ones, but it's not claer cut
and then 2 decades later came new weirder progresive ones
but you're right the first two rival ones didn't DO anything
they just had ideas

Okay so either talk about how one set the stage for the other
or how the second was in opposition to the first
or how the second tried where the first failed
And just have a page on one, a page on the other, and a page about attitudes in russia at the time
In CONCLUSION THEY WERE VERY DIFFERENT
bada bing

hahhaa
i'm breaking it down
she says a lot of smart stuf but not writing that smart stuff down

it's all about outlining
write in this order
1. vague summary of what your thesis will be about
2. list out each body paragraph
3. write body paragraphs in easiest/fastest order
4. bullshit the conclusion
5. summariaze everything you're "going to do" (aka already did) in the intro paragraph

yep
that's really good

It always helps to start the paper with "Since the beginning of time,"
Since the beginning of modern Russian history, political factions have sought to expand their levels of influence in urban centers

that's pretty close to it
she's impressed with how you think about this shit
i'm writing about political reforms from alexander II
and how thye were only subpar

I've been doing this kind of stuff for eight years

some were good, the big important one was shitty though
she says its just hard for her to "focus all at once"
aka women are dumb

looool
play nice

maybe a break is in order
she's in the fetal position
well, typing

proust

Am I normal? Am I sick? Am I corrupted? Am I evil? These are how I feel when people respond to me. It is my fault sometimes, yes, and I am working on it. It was described to me that sometimes, when I am joking I use the same face I use when I am serious. Sure, I can work on that. Yes, that's OK. But i'm also funny with wit sometimes which isn't used in that respect. and it confuses me...i was at a social engagement. a few and i did'nt come off as my usual self. and sometimes I worry that if I think certain thoughts that they'll come true if I think about them. But I'm really big on...creating an environment where a dialogue, with a safe dialogue, where one can happen, and that we can have a conversationabout anything. that's why i don't give Give Ben any flak.

Everything should be discussed. Wait, no. That would be horrible!

Ahahah...let's agree, some things are better left unsaid. Even a brevity of speech, keeping it small and calculated would be best, but how am i gonna meet new people that way? a cute line? i need to come off less forced. iwould introduce myself to people that made eye contact and sound spastic. just be civil and casual. hey, i'm new in town. my name is marcus. was that so hard? no need to squirm or reel. ddddd or lets skip the intro duction too the intro duction off, this interdiction between ugh me and people i wnat to get to know or bang. or just kiss. i'll get to that later. it was interesting being interesting around that gay man. he was cute. i will admit that and there is nothing wrong with that. Sorry I got distracted. it's important to contemplate on the issues that make you feel ill. Gabe says he's aware of what usually makes him tick, that he's in sync with his autonomy. that's awesome.

i want to try what proust did but i realize its impossible to imitate, and worthless to aim for it. but his technique is worth trying. it would require roleplay, and my amount of dedication would have to mimick my acting skill. he was sick with asthma and had to stay at home. poor man. he is so wise. he was left with his papercrafting and memories and a pen. i wonder what his setup looked like. was it meagre or did it have a large desk and paintings, was he poor? was he ill? where does the whole madeleine thing come in anyway? i efel that way when i dip in cookies. i liked the descriptions that show how he goes into extreme detail, like the patterns on the napkins or the sound of water dripping onto a pipe, but aren't they ultimately pointless unless you can relate them to something? that would make...soemthing experimental if it doesn't relate, and genius if you can bound it to some sort of overarching theme. can you do that?
