Deadlines, Deadlines

Ok so the outline thing was a success, hutzza! And the 1st chunk is due...::looks at clock:: today. I finished it but (g)od I need sleep. 28hrs and no sleep is a bad idea.

The only other capstone is this gal named Allison who's really nice and her topic is kind of interesting. A bit like 'well that sounds like a history capstone' but it's on women in the military during WWII and she's in Army ROTC so it has more meaning for her than it does for me, Marine JROTC aside. There's another kid who's preparing for his now to present during the summer about missionaries in S. Africa and I'm kinda feeling like the white elephant in the room when it comes to this whole 'comic book-Norse mythos' idea.

The capstone meeting was more of "You're doing WHAT?!" by Dr. Taylor and Patterson and while they didn't shoot down the idea, they were kinda hesitant of the idea that I'm doing an undergrad research project on comic books. 'scuse, 'graphic novels'. But Ruane is being all supportive and such and telling my to write my pa-tootie off so...yeah.

Febuary 20th is the next capstone meeting. The 13th is when the next chunk of my capstone work is due. Throw in a football trip to Key West and well...

::spazz::

Real Work Starts

Coniption is, what the hell is real work? I figure I've done the hard stuff (the reading, the gathering) and now all there's left to do is to sit down and write it. Problem is that I'm *horrible* at organizational flow on papers--every. Last. Professor. Tells me so. I mean, I make my point, my content's fine, it's just it's not beautiful *looking* like it should be. Aie.

So while I read the Study of Comics over break ( that horribly dry book, jeez) and Post-it note tabed Vol. 3 of Thor, I uh...free flowed wrote about 2 pages before saying, "This sucks!" and putting together an outline to see if this works.

Said outline is here.

Yeah, this is going to be one of those, "You did squat over break" capstone meetings. /headdesk
