bedlamsbardArgh, I did that thing which you are never supposed to do, and now I have a chapter of thesis due in a week and haven't started. And am not entirely sure what I'm writing about, except "Virgil", "Ovid", and "Renaissance."
Do not judge, I am too busy judging myself. I'm sure there are at least a couple of other dumb honors students in the same place; I know the reason that the honors program started putting checkpoints in throughout the year is because there were too many people trying to write the entire 50-60 page thing the weekend before in April.
Okay. It is not like I enjoy being that girl who writes papers the night before and still gets pretty decent grades, but I am in fact that girl and hey, it's not due for another nine days. I do have to send it in to my readers and get signatures, so I will e-mail everyone this week and tell them I should have a complete draft by Thursday (oh dear) and that I need to get signatures and turn it in by Monday.
Ugh. I feel really incompetent, and also am seriously considering dropping the whole damn project and just doing a capstone next semester. There are a number of lovely option in MEMS, including an English course on early modern lit and Spain and a history course on imperial Spain, and some nice options in Classics, too. But that feels like giving up or losing, and I've never liked that.
But if you want to know about necromancer magician Virgil, I gotcha covered. He was kind of a giant dick. But he was aces at magic statues.
Meanwhile, I have finished the prologue of my plotty BSG fic and am debating whether posting it in chapters or waiting until it's complete will give it a better chance of actually getting done. Of course I also wonder if anyone wants to read plotty Helo/Sharon S4 AU fic, but I want to write it, so that's the part that matters.
