Mediocrity is ok, right?
I'm trying to convince myself that I can turn in very mediocre essays for my contemporary theory final in order to preserve my sanity and stick to the schedule I've made about when my semester will be over. So, I finished the essays yesterday and the original plan was to turn them in today. But, then! I realize that if I turned them in early, there would be a higher chance that the professor would actually read them. That would be bad. IF I wait to turn them in until the "due" date (which is presumably what everyone else is doing), there is a chance that he won't have time to read them all, at least not well. The difficulty here is resisting the temptation to work on them more.
The problem is, I quit reading for this class about 6 weeks ago....and when the take home final came out, I said "yikes! I don't know anything about this." So, I had to figure out which questions I could answer with the least amount of catch up reading. I picked 2 and did what I could.
Sometimes that's all you can do, right?

Mair, always remember: Be Adequite.
I tell my wife to be Adequiet, but that's not the same thing. Sure, sometimes it is!
Awesome. You just summed up my life.
I hope so. It would be nice to know when mediocrity meets adequacy. I'd also like to know how detailed do you have to be to be detailed??
One more exam...I think I can lay off the caffeine now. Time to detox.
Mary, can you guess who this is?
I'll give you a hint: If I say "mediocrity is okay," we can safely assume that even any not-always-so-reasonable human would say it, and therefore you should turn in your essays.
...and, just in case it wasn't clear, I say mediocrity is okay.

Tinita -
I don't know if I should trust you or if you've really cracked under all the pressure this semester. I can't imagine in my wildest dreams that you would say mediocrity is ok. I think what you are really saying is probably more like "it's ok for you, but not for me!"
At any rate, if you say it's okay, then it has to be! Well, at least we are pretty much done with the worst semester ever known to man. I'm glad to have whined all semester with you!
Hey Mair,
Give us an update on if Mediocrity is ok. How did it all unfold. Hindsight will tell you if mediocrity is ok?
gre'
It was fine. I got an A in the class.
