Notes from Gylfaginning are DONE. Wooo! ::hurricane dance::

Now to do my UK homework because I'm not a brown noser, I just need to get *that* done so I can focus on reading for Space Exploration class. =P

Ok, I feel better

Apparently I'm doing ok...erm so far. Atleast according to Dr. Ruane and that's really all that matters hah.

I have an Eddas assignment to do, which I'm wondering where to fit it all in but I'll get it done. It's the bibliography thing I'm worried about because I don't have access to the lot of the books that I have written down. Er, problem? Yup. If anything though, it helped relax me about the up coming part of this alittle. It's just alocating my time right. 30 pages is going to be full of suck though by December.

Off to go read that. Yeah. (So tired)

In the starting blocks

So I'm back in Melbourne after the loan process from hell. It looked like that all of my capstone work over the summer would be for naught but no, people came through for me and helped by the grace if the gods and a few Marines. So now come Monday I can start focusing.

The only things this senior year that are bothering me is work and The Belletrist--I need to start delegating authority when it comes to the crazy thing and just be the Editor in Chief not everything else. Last semester I *had* no one else but this one I intend to lassoing some freshmen to help. And work? Dr. Matar isn't there anymore so I'm just wondering how the atmosphere of the office is. We can sense changes like that, contrary to being just workstudies :)

Book wise, one of the books Dr. Ruane gave me is one I needed for mythology class, huzza! So I didn't have to buy it but it still leaves the massive mythology book, my art history text book, and my Sputnik book for history and space exploration that I need to get. I think all of these Proffs. have bumped their heads; if it's not 8 million books for one class, its a really expensive one, like 100 buck plus. We're not made of money here!

Mythology and Space Exploration are the two I'm looking the most forward to (no duh) since my capstone and being a former astro major. I think it will also help w/ my capstone to hear someone else talk about this stuff--I've been sitting in my room hearing myself that I think I'm going insane...more insane. Anyway. I know it'll help.

Also tomorrow I'll set up capstone meeting times w/ Dr. Ruane...I guess. I'm not exactly sure what I was *supposed* to be doing this summer and I'm worried that I didn't do enough. o.o Or I did the wrong thing. ::rubs face:: Ughhhhhhhhhh please don't be mad at me ::prays::.

So it's off to Barnes and Nobles to get the books that I don't want to pay for at the bookstore.
