I was a source of explanation of why the Interpretant is an essential part of the sign-function. Apparently she couldn't find an explanation in any of her sources and in a night-before-the-paper-was-due panic, resorted to citing me instead. i'm not sure how well the prof liked that, but at least i know she got something out of my explanation, i guess. i really hope she didn't quote it, because it was unnecessarily poetic or anthropomorphic or something, because I was writing my Wordsworth paper at the time she asked me.

the bottom line is that i don't want to be stuck in portland working some tedious job and paying rent, etc.
