Random facts about my clinical position paper

-So far, my entire works cited page contains authors whose last names begin with F. (To be fair, I have only inserted a few actual citations at this point, and have mainly just made margin notes to myself that this is Miller, this is Lacan, etc.)

-Strangely enough, I have more men listed in my clinical examples than women, who primarily show up in my cultural diversity section. Why? Could this be because the psychoanalytic subject is male?

-I have discovered that it is utterly impossible to write a paper that three faculty members will approve of. Therefore, my goal is to write a paper that at least one is likely to assign an A.

In other news, I attended a family reunion this weekend. I learned some interesting facts:
-My grandma (well, great-aunt, but I called her grandma) eloped! She ran off to West Virginia to marry a German guy, which was apparently scandalous in my Purely Irish family. (This is funny because she used to interrogate me regarding the nationality of all of my friends, and frequently gave disapproving clucks.)

-It is not surprising that I found it to be difficult to master the art of moderate consumption of alcohol. There were competitions, and one woman seriously tried to "catch up" to those who had started earlier. She's in her 70's. "I can drink more than you can" became the phrase of the day.

-I have a distant relative who is a priest. He has written several books on being all holy.

-And my favorite piece of advice: If I have kids, I need to quit my job or.....my child will pull out all of his hair!
