Jan. 7th, 2012 04:40 pmExposition, my evil nemesis, we meet again! Which is to say, I hate this scene I'm working on in BW and it's the same reason I haven't started Dust 28 yet, because I'm trying to figure out how to do it without a giant exposition dump. (Which is boring.)

An academic thing: I think that I'm going to have to drop my honors thesis, because at this point I'd be trying to do a full-year project in less than a semester, and that's never a good idea. I finally figured out what I'd want to write about (gee, it only took a year), but I don't have the time or energy to do it, especially since now the very words "honors thesis" kind of make me want to weep. I'm not that happy with this decision since it feels like giving up + I won't graduate with honors, but I really don't think I can pull it off at this point, not and still meet the honors program's deadlines + keep up with the rest of my classes. I'm going to have to take a MEMS capstone and maybe a Classics one (although I think since Classics is my secondary major, I might not have to do a second capstone; I need to check with my advisor), but I've already got one MEMS seminar this semester that could count, although I'm thinking of taking my thesis advisor's seminar in the English department, because I love him and it's my last year. Also I feel bad.
I don't know. I'm so messed up over this project that I can't look at it straight anymore. Academic-type people, does it actually seem like a rational decision or an excuse not to do it?
