My point is that I would love a chance to read your Maya Deren/Wade Davis paper.

Sure thing! I can email it to you, if you like.
It's not the best paper in the world; I wrote it about two hours before I had to be in class, so it could totally be much better. I just messed about and thusly didn't have time to really hammer something good out.

Let me know where you'd like me to email it to. :)
