Funny emails from last week: (btw Liberty is the name of my housemate's dog, and the second email is from my mom, whose essay i edited (part of her dissertation)

word up, homies.
i'm not gonna be home until 10:00 tonight, so if anyone wants to or can
take liberty out to relieve her bladder before then, i'm sure she'd
appreciate it!
if not, put her in her crate, so she doesn't choose to use the kitchen
floor as her poopy platter. =)
que viva la revolucion!! libertad!!

were crap, but i couldn't deal with it anymore
plus some where along the line you really learned about the
mechanics of language. you think it was school? off to john stewart.
love mom
Language spot:
Excerpts from my EssayEdge "clients":
"I’m confident that my personal background and research accomplishments would make me a worthy addition to your esteemed program. Moreover my boyfriend also has a plan for studying in M.D. Anderson. So your school will be prior to any other schools to me."
"I began to deconstruct filmic elements and construct them successfully into theories during college."
"Regarding your specific edits, I have a few detailed questions below. If answering those questions is out your responsibility or needs additional charge, you can just neglect them."
And whoa, this girl is like my hero: (this is in her note to me)
"I would really like to bring across that 1)I have achieved a lot within a short period of time (two BA degrees Magna and Summa in just a few years while serving as head of Global Culture Club of my college, Resident Advisor of my floor, senate member); 2)I am fluent in several languages and very subtle foreing accent in all of them, in my last performance appraisal of my current job with the UN, I was listed by the Head of Translation Services of Department of Justice, as one of the best interpreters in the Department of Justice of the UN Mission in Kosovo. As a final work, thank you so much for your hard work. This essay is very much important to me. Kind regards."
