Death by PDF. I think we had to read 1000 pages this week about collaboration or at least that was how it felt. I think our instructor found the most dry reading he could dig up from someone's grave. Normally I would have looked up the author, but I fear if I knew who wrote the paper, I to would be dead. I think just that mere bit of additional information would most surely kill me. Even worse, we have to write something that we gleamed from the PDF about collaboration. The torture never ends. Have you ever read the Iliad and the Odyssey, I did, it was less painful. The Iliad had the redeeming feature of war. The Odyssey was simply the journey of Homer heading home after the war; we only cared that somewhere the book would end, it did. Of course those two books were less painful than Catcher In the Rye, that was a really bad book, it rated up there with David Copperfield, death by boredom, and unlike Oliver Twist, nobody asked for more. Needles to say none of those came close to my beloved, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, East of Eden, Anna Karenina or Pink and Say. Okay I'm off the path, it's the reader geek in me and the 1000 pages about collaboration. The paper that holds the words of PDF will be fuel for the fire, I don't care if it is still summer. I fear for my dog's life if I don't burn it, she may attempt to tear the paper up since she is prone to tearing up paper. The paper would most definitely be the death of her with all those collaborative words. She chewed up my memory stick once that had my "20 decades of history" homework assignment for the behavior management class. I took the broken stick to class to prove to Dr. Hodges that my dog ate my homework.
Such an assignment as this needed something more than just words. I could not justify simply writing about collaboration so I created a Glogster. Do not fear, it's the same verse, just a different choir.
And now...the rest of the story.
AHHH.. I LOVE all the extra work you put into your post! This is so much more helpful to understand than reading 970 pages of information! haha!!! Great job! Hope you are having great luck on your Course Outline Assignment, knowing you- you have probably already completed it!! haha :)
