A Bump in the Road

Before class, we realized that the in class written analysis is only worth 10% of our final grade.  Boy, wasn't that a relief to hear.  Makes me feel a little silly for staying up until 2 am preparing for it.  It wasn't that bad after all.   So, I am not saying I aced the exam...in fact, after talking to others I think it might just be that we all did well, just in different ways.  BUT to use metaphor, bordering on a cliche, On the road of Semantics and Pragmatics, today wasn't a mountain to climb...just a little bump in the road.

So glad you bogged about this! If we were not in this semantics class we would have never even caught what you said. It's funny how we use metaphors so easily. I wonder why exactly this is. Does anyone know exactly why metaphors are used? Is it to spice up the language... or is it because we have become an abstract generation? Food for thought. (hmm, perhaps another metaphor)

Creative semantics is the key to contemporary government; it consists of talking in strange tongues lest the public learn the inevitable inconveniently early.
