yrmencynJesus. This was a very long day, and it did not start auspiciously: while I was first sitting down to the computer, I looked out the window and saw snow flurries. Yes, it was in the 70s yesterday, why do you ask?
Anyway, my day was spent almost entirely in the process of writing my final paper for Medieval Lit. It is, I swear, the longest 11 pages I have ever written. Seriously. Took me HOURS, which is just bizarre. Also it's long in word-count. For 11 pages, at the standard approximation of 250 words/double-spaced page, you'd expect about 2750 words. I've got 3348, and that's with a half-page image and a fair number of block quotes. Do I just use a lot of short words, or something? Seriously. Anyway, this paper has definitely made me appreciate the field I'm studying in, where we write papers but rarely. I'm fascinated by theory and academic research, but I fucking hate writing the papers. Hate it. Violently.
The high point of the day was Minstrelry rehearsal this evening. We've got our performance pretty much set, and it's timed very close to right. We started off a little sluggishly, but it ended up being a very productive rehearsal. In the interest of tightening up our act, we have a favor to ask. A week from Sunday (the 25th, that'll be), we're going to try and rehearse at Browning Amphitheater at 11am, and we'd appreciate it if some of you would come and give us some constructive criticism/feedback. I'll keep you updated on any changes. Thanks in advance.
Anyway, Spring Break has now officially started for me. I have finished everything I have to do for this quarter, save actually putting my paper in Dr. Green's box (and I'll do that tomorrow). Now it's time for the ritual returning of library books (and boy do I have a lot of them). Tomorrow, Kevin and I are headed up to Ann Arbor to visit one of his friends on her birthday; we'll be back Monday or Tuesday. Thank God this quarter is over; it was really brutal.
