yuuago"Mummified" trees found in Norway date back to the 13th century
Note: I still have a lot of blank cards, if there is someone who wants a Christmas Card from me but has not yet given me their address.
Today was mildly productive. I went to the library far later than I intended, but I still managed to get quite a lot of work done as far as gathering materials goes. My project for Medieval is due this Tuesday, but fortunately it isn't worth a whole lot of the grade, and it's just the usual "talk for 20 minutes and pass around a 500-word handout + bibliography" thing. Still, considering the absolute failure of a paper that I handed in last week, I want to do a good job on this one, to prove to professor Liu that I'm not a complete airhead.
I've been looking for things to do for my textual editing assignment, too. Right now I'm kind of considering "The Owl and the Nightingale", because part of my project will be on that (at least, on its dialect, as I am still working on the subject of Middle English dialects), and I found a good source of information on this one. I'm not sure about it, though. I would really prefer a poem with one source, and furthermore this one is from the 12th or 13th century - I really have a much easier time with work from the 14th and 15th centuries... for obvious reasons. On the other hand, this particular one would give me a lot to write about, and I would be able to do a large amount of glosses... Hmm. We'll see.
Aside from school, I haven't really done anything. It's that time of year. Busy busy busy. I don't predict any more creative works getting finished until all my essays are through, though now that the short giftfic is finished I can type that up and edit it and then after it's received that can be posted... but that won't be for a while yet. Sigh. Ah, well. At least I can take the occasional moment to talk to certain people. A friend and I have been exchanging recordings back and forth, and it's fun - just, you know, talking for a minute or two about nothing in particular. I don't speak much in a day, except when my mother calls me, so it's good to actually say something. And as for her, well, it's neat to hear her just say any old thing. Creating a sort of familiarity. Getting used to the sound of her voice. Preparation for later, really. The summer, I mean.
