*awe* Sai is awsome. I can get to 3000 with chopper challenge, but I suck at the other games!!!

I know. I'm a writer too... I'm just not working on publishing my second (or third maybe?) book.

Yeah. I've been trying to be good about keeping track of its location. This is the first time I haven't been certain of where it is.

I'm helping him write it. Right now I'm just doing copy editing on the draft, but I'll actually be going into the research later on. He told me in class today that I'd done a good job on the work I put in on it Tuesday.

well I can't seem to figure out how to get past level 15 playing it, but that earns me 55 gold every game I play.

by Nan see you later

Laters, Nenna!

by Nenna. That's awesome that your professor came to you though Muse!!

It is, but it feels kind of weird to be critiquing one of my professors' writing. I'm much more using to it being the other way around.

I wonder if he took into account that I used to be an English major when he recruited me for the job. I think that's definitely made a difference in some of the edits I suggested. There are definitely some things I'd expect anyone to have picked out, but some of the more nit-picky things about English grammar probably would've just slipped by someone without that in their educational background.

I'm still not entirely certain how I got involved in it though. I was kind of hazy from medication that day...

You are lucky to have mentor dear.

Who has a mentor?

You do Muse, your professor.

Hm... I hadn't really thought of it from that perspective, but I think I rather have a colleague instead of a mentor.

I like my professors. They're part of what's making me a bit sad about graduating soon. I mean, my college friends I can keep in touch with and still talk to easily enough, but when I leave college, that'll pretty much be it for seeing my professors. I'm tired of leaving people.

There's no reason not to remain in contact with your porfessors. If you have a good relationship with them.

I agree with Saiya!! Its totally possible!

All you need to do is write letters to them after you leave college.

I tend to think I do. At least where it doesn't concern a bibliography I haven't turned in yet to one of them... heh...

I just worry--I'm not entirely sure what I worry about--I just worry that I'd seem weird.

Letters? People still do that?

email works too. I get letter occasionally, but they aren't too common really....

Actually, I should be advocating letter writing. It leaves a more lasting record than the electronic formats that've become such common usage.

Dr. McConnell and I once had a discussion of how the change from letters to email was going to affect the historian's job. We both agreed that it was going to make things much more difficult since so much of written communication no longer exists in a physical form. Emails aren't like letters that people will store away in some corner of their homes for decades. They don't last.

I like to receive an occasional letter. It has more meaning and I can stick it in a scrapbook or something.

I store my emails! and good ones that have information about stories me and my friends are writing or rps tend to end up in word documents. ^_^

and them manipulated by anyone and everyone! ^_^

Yeah, but they're just so much easier to get rid of. All you have to do is click the "delete" button, and suddenly the message is lost forever. It's stored on some sort of mass server briefly afterwards, but it's eventually removed from there as well, leaving no trace it ever existed behind it.

It's kind of scary to think how much of our existence is now tied up in what is ultimately an incredibly transianet form. Computer viruses and careless accidents can almost lieterally erase whole years of our lives in one instant.

Seriously, in a hundred years, how much of this stuff is still going to exist so that people can read and understand the events of our times?

Historians will never be obsolete!
