October 4th is D-Day

No, I know Operation Overlord was on June 6th. But my D-Day, huzza. That's when like I have to start doing serious work on the capstone like thing. ::scratches head:: Like I wasn't working already. Anyways, I'm glad it's after the round of tests but before Swamp Bowl (Football in Gainsville and nay, football against the mo'effin Georgia Tech Lady Bulldogs is full of win) so I'm dancing about that. And I'm looking forward to tossing ideas around with someone far smarter than me on the subject--I can't just toss around mythology w/ the boys in the apartment.

I'm ordering books and I r teh poor, yar. So I guess interlibrary loans ::shudder:: will have to do. FIT library. Bad touch. No mommy don't make me. ::sigh:: oh well. I'll go do some of that eh, tomorrow/Monday. I have a test tomorrow and work and gym conditioning and 2 football games the weekend so that means Monday it is.

Note to self: Reading Norse mythology while listening to German speed metal is highly condusive. Must find more. And stay away from WoW while I do it ><.

Lightbulb!

Maybe. Ok.

So, after playing with Google maps for a bit (if you *don't* like playing w/ Google maps, there's something wrong with you lol) Dr. Ruane told me that I was, to my shock, doing alright. Well that my bibliography is alright at the very least so I'll take it and run like hell.

So what does that mean? More reading. So I need to check on my books from Amazon and such...for more homework.

I'm totally going to attack the, "Mythology in modernism thingy" thingy. I think that'll be fun--alittle pop culture never hurt nobody.

So this weekend is Space Class and British class. w00t!

Me and Microsoft Word...

...are going to fight one day. Grr. Stupid spacing and crap.

Anyway, um finished Bibliography. http://atomikfenrir.livejournal.com/2308.html#cutid1. I'm missing the Edda book, I just realized that. -_-; I guess that's what slipping into the shower will do to ya. I'll add it later.

I'm wondering if I can quite possibly hold off that Capstone meeting tomorrow--the Belletrist and I along with the secondary funding committee need to get down with the get down. This time, I'll do it all *myself* so I know it gets done. People sometimes are lame.

Off to read the rest of the 2nd saga.

Cue lightbulb

So today I got alittle closer as to what I want to do in my capstone. Besides having books again thrown at me (If I wasn't used to it by now, that's kinda retarded), I kinda figure I'd like to do something with the modern interpretations of Norse mythology. Now if that'll include just the gods or the trolls and other stuff or what, I don't know. But it seems like an adventure and that's what I'm looking for--after all, I may or may not go back to school after this (loans, GPA explosion, custody of my brother, blah) so it's gotta be something that I want to do so bad I'm going to frame it when I'm done next to my diplomas and the signed pictures of Leonard Nimoy and Dan Marino.

Luckily, I don't have to decide until October-ish but it's nice to be going in the general/right direction or atleast *have* a direction. I'm alittle petrified of falling behind but I can't *not* fail so I'll postpone any mental breakdowns for after May, thank you very much. I'm not like spazzing out about the capstone itself but about where I need to fit it in in the two semesters I have w/ all the other stuff going on...ok, I'm spazzing alittle but not as bad as I thought I would. As the Vikings said, "Every hour wounds, the last one kills." And wounded animals are the worst kind.

I'll probably slap the rest of my annotated biblography on here later on when I acutally get home from conditioning, practice, and the Belletrist meeting. Or tomorrow. Tomorrow looks better.

So what did we learn today?

Modern interpertation of mythology is the bomb diggity.
I need sleep.
I meet Tues. or Thurs. depending on the stars and Dr. Ruane being cranky @ me or everyone else :D
I'm going to need *a lot* more books.
