Gnah. I really hope he doesn't ding me for not using all of the sources.

Yeah, takehome exam, four questions, requested limit of two hours. Could've easily used three--I didn't touch half of the secondary sources and barely mentioned alchemy as a sticky point in question one ("Was the separation of science and religion part of the establishment of modern science?").

Green oolong--at least this green oolong--is really, really floral. I feel a bit like I'm drinking an infusion of jasmine petals.

My roommate had the misfortune of calling me within the first two minutes of finishing the takehome. I sincerely hope I was vaguely coherent and didn't tell her that mead was indicative of the pitfalls of renaming 'the scientific revolution' 'the establishment of the mechanical philosophy' (which would be the main gist of question four).

Since no-one else replied, I will go forth and poke at the continuing sequence for Witches' Horses as opposed to anything else.

. . . after I've come down off the 'oh my god must get something down for all four, can I add this bit, where the hell is that page reference' adrenaline rush.

Generally on timed exams, profs tend to be easy on use of sources providing that your arguments are sound.

It's usually not reasonable to have someone cite too many things in a 2 hour exam.
