Hell Day, and the great Quest

Hell Day is that one day out of the term that every student experiances. This is the day when you realize that if you don't get everything done by tomorrow, you're screwed. For some poor souls, this day is actually a week. For me, it probably should have been a weekend...

The Great Quest for today is to get everything finished, even if I have to drown in coffee doing it. Nathan is here, making sure that nothing distracts me, and that I have nothing to worry about other than my work.

The Notebook is first. This one will likely be divided into segments: first, finish the script aspect. Second, the detailing, and third, the 1000 word essay explaining my choices. The essay will be dead simple, as everything I've done/changed was for a specific reason.

The Dictionary Report will be next, as it's the next shortest of the projects. It shouldn't take me more than an hour, and is relativly straight forward.

The Essay-Essay, that one will be a challenge. However, I've switched my book from Ivanhoe to 1984, and Caroline said that it's an easy read. All I have to do is prove that it's a romance, and Wikipedia will be helpful in that.

Really, it's not that much. It's noon now... I'm hoping to get all of this done with some time left over to study for the exam tomorrow.

Nathan is so awsome. He wants to do anything to help me. Sometimes I feel like I"m abusing that privilage, but he assures me that I'm not, and that helping me makes him happy, because it takes a load off my back.

I'll likely post again when I have everything done, and again at least once before I leave for the holidays. Seeing as North Bay is under about a foot of snow right now... I won't be going anywhere today.

Onward with the Quest!

9pm Update:

Well folks, 9 hours have passed, and part of the journey is complete. The "Notebook" part of the notebook is done, just lacking illustrations and notes which can be put in later on, and the essay part is nearing completion. I've read a summary of 1984, and I'm almost certain I can prove that it is a romance of sorts. I anticipate that within 2 hours, I'll be able to start that adventure.

As usual, things are taking a little longer than expected, but that's ok. I figured this would be an all nighter anyways, so I'm ready for it. After the essay, I'll whip up the report, then read some summaries of the novels from the course. That should be enough to refresh what memory I have.
