Monday, Shmonday

I didn't watch Heroes tonight, so nothing there. I might watch it tomorrow.

No, tonight I was FINALLY getting started on my Capstone, which is sort of the final peg in the English rung. I get this one, and I'll have completed my core courses.

For me, it requires giving them a bunch of old papers from several different classes that I've taken here at Eau Claire and writing a reflection on each one. Good thing I'm a damned packrat. I kept most of the stuff I wrote over the last couple of years...most of it.

That is to say, there is ONE class that's needed and it's gone mysteriously missing from my stuff. I took English Language three years ago this year and those papers have gone vakooshka. I have no idea where they've gone.

I MIGHT get lucky though. I seem to remember having a hard copy of one paper from that class in particular buried someplace back at home.

Which is to say, it's buried in an endless stack of folders containing an endless stack of papers. It might never, ever be found.

I do keep things fairly well organized, don't get me wrong. With all the stuff I have saved I have to-otherwise I would never find ANYTHING when I wanted it.

It's just that there's a LOT of stuff in a LOT of folders and finding that one paper in all of that might very well take till next century.

Let's see-there's the folder of good stuff by authors that aren't me, the folder of handwritten stuff by me, the folder of typed stuff by me, the folder with the three lyrics notebooks that will never seen the light of day again, the Eemeda Chronicles, smashed in with Darren Marcus' first draft that will also never see the light of day again, the folder of memories, the binder of awards and such, folder of Stargate fanfics...I might have missed one. I'm not looking at the stack of them at the moment.

You see why this particular search could potentially take forever, although having things organized DOES make the search shorter than it would be (for instance, I know for sure that paper can't be in at least four or five of the folders I just mentioned.)

I'll have a massive folder search during Thanksgiving weekend and see if I can't roust that paper out of hiding. Then I can scan in the paper and write a reflection and bammo, I'll be done. :)

Meantime, I will not be idle. I'll get the others done while I wait for Thanksgiving to roll around. That way I won't be lightyears behind once December hits.

See? It's all peaches and roses and fluffly bunnies! And now my left hand is killing me so I'm apparently done typing this entry.

Ta,
Bec
