my life is work right now.  

Posted by: Rebecca in ,


Well, it's been a while since I've updated. Nothing truly exciting has happened in a while, though. I've mostly just been doing class things, like presentations and paper-writing. That's this weekend's activity. I've also been doing Cadence and hanging out with people. That's pretty much my life since spring break.

I'm lucky, though - I have another mini-break coming up. I get to go home on Wednesday for a long Easter weekend (primarily because I'm skipping classes on Friday, but they'll be the first two classes I've missed this whole semester, and both my professors are okay with it, so it's not a big deal). I'm really excited... I get to rest for a little while. It seems like all I've done since I've been back from break is work on presentations and the resulting papers. Of course, a lot of that has had to do with things out of my control - I should've been done with one set of work already and be just finishing up another, but because of certain events I had to do it all at once. But it doesn't really matter, I'm almost done. Then maybe I can sit down and work on the Baby Reaper story.

I'm not quite half-done with it, which Kevin says is a good thing - I have close to eighty pages at the moment, and finished, it probably needs to be between 250 and 300 pages or so. I feel like I'm going to have to rework most of the second half of the plot, though... I skimmed over those index cards the other day, and I'm not sure they really work anymore. But we'll see. I have a general end in sight, which makes me a little more comfortable with the story. I just need to get to the end, haha. My goal is to have the bulk of the text completed by the end of the summer so that next semester can be devoted to revisions and maybe beginning a new one. I have some fun ideas I've been messing around with when I have a couple minutes of free time.

Anyway, I have to go write a paper on Chaucer's The Merchant's Tale, and how Pluto and Proserpine = January and May = Joseph and Mary, and how the mythical and Biblical influences affect the story.
