Well, battle after battle has finally lead me to this weekend. Not counting finals, there is but a single week of class left, and my birthday is on Monday. The only thing holding me to reality is the worry of our group's main page being done by Sunday (he still hasn't said anything about it... troubling), and the research paper for Advanced Composition. I've already gotten a good start on it, two pages and three sources I believe (maybe four or five now that I think about it), and I still have four days off between now and the time it's due. I'm sure I can finish it. The hardest part is, without a doubt, finding the sources. I could talk about my topic - video games and the problems they pose on society - for pages and pages of just opinion, so I'm having trouble balancing it with fact. I've been using a lot of NBC news stuff about psychological studies that show the effects of video games on the brain, and often the violence related to them.
Other than that, though, I'm already making my "to do" list for the summer. One of my goals is to possibly re-write my very first novel entirely. I first wrote it in 2006, and looking back on it, not only have I changed the physics of the world (it's a fantasy world, I've changed certain Gods and magics and whatnot), but now I want the story to go in a different direction almost entirely. I'll be able so salvage the parts I am proud of, but, the primary reason I want to re-write it is because a lot has happened in the past two years. I've done a lot of time just reading and studying literature and writing about it, and now I feel I am far more prepared to write a novel.
I think I'll go tinker with that story some right now. This could be my last weekly post. When summer hits, my blog will probably slip under a few times in importance, but I will try to post every now and then. Anyway, until we meet again internet.
