Roe Updates

I am going to make an effort to blog a little bit more, and I figured that taking a quick break in the middle of writing my second paper of the weekend is as good a time as any. This weekend has been my "Final Paper Writing Weekend." I began Friday night, doing some research and pre-writing. Saturday I worked on it all day, taking a break to get my hair cut and see our New Song Kid's Christmas Production. (Which was wonderful!) Finished Paper #1 last night. It was another paper on "A Good Man is Hard to Find;" A precis to be exact. I chose to make my topic the correlation of the Misfit to the Apostle Paul. I personally think it's a really good idea; we'll see what my professor thinks!

Today we had church, and then went to a friend's house to watch the Colts beat up on the poor Titans for the second time this season. Yes, my dear Titans' fans and friends, you knew, deep down that it was coming, despite your best wishes and hopes that it wouldn't be this way: it was! I figured I wouldn't get any work done with the game on anyway, so why not watch it fully. (Hey, at least I clipped coupons and made my grocery list while watching)

After the game, I came home, put some potatoes on the stove for potato soup (have to have dinner tonight!) and got to work. This second paper is on John Keats' poem, "The Eve of St Agnes." It's an interesting poem, and I am certainly not thrilled about writing on it, but out of the options I had, it really was the best choice. Right now I am researching Medievalism and getting ready to say a bunch of things about how Keats handles issues of human motive, why colors are important, and explore the sensory imagery. Blah! I love literature, and I love grammar and I love writing, really I do. But I don't love writing papers on things that I think are without purpose and frankly, a bit silly.

So there you have it: my view on this paper I am writing. :-) Okay, enough rant for now, must get back to that sensory imagery!!! Yay...........
