annundrielI'm working on my personal myth and I'm feeling kind of shaky about it, even though I rather like what I've written so far. I e-mailed the professor on Friday morning to make sure the topic was acceptable (the goddess I chose is a lesser one and so I wasn't sure), but she hasn't e-mailed me back. So I'm just going to go for it and if she doesn't like it, well, at least I tried to get a hold of her.
I also wonder how far I can stray from straight MLA format. For example, I'd rather not use quotation marks. Now, I wouldn't be using them much anyway as there's not a lot of dialog, but they just don't feel right to me when I put them in. I'll write it without and then get a second opinion on it. I don't like that this assignment is creative, but it's creative with formatting constraints. That kind of bugs me. Possibly this is connected to the fact that she completely changed the assignment from the original one on the syllabus and didn't realize it.
Woo, writing.
I hope hope hope we don't have to read these in class. That sort of thing is for creative writing classes, which this is most definitely not. There's a reason I stay away from those, and part of that is a dislike of sharing my writing with random people because they will judge.
Anyway, that's my issue. Besides just feeling completely uncaring and lazy right now. Bah, school.
(I can never spell "dialog" correctly. That just doesn't look right to me.)

Date: 2006-01-23 06:48 pm (UTC)I emailed her yesterday to ask her about making up a couple epithets for Autolycus since he doesn't have any, but nothing like tight-butted or anything, just like dark-haired and fair, etc. She hasn't gotten back to me either. In my experience with her, she's really shitty about getting back to you, even during the school week. I just went ahead and didn't worry about her answer. I tried to get ahold of her, she didn't respond, so I did what I thought was best.
And I still haven't finished mine. I'm on the second page and need to finish it up, but I've started worrying about out ethics paper a little more than I should, so the writing of the myth stopped completely. Urgh. Stupid schoolwork.

God damn school. Why can't we all just sit at home in our jammies and watch BSG?
