I work hard and still don't get done.

beccaelizabethSo homework for myth & med was to pick an article or chapter, read it, summarise it, and bring it to class to discuss. I haven't articles, I have chapters, so I picked one I know I've read already and settled down to reread and summarise.
Two hours later I've tried that on 16 pages and it's harder than it looks.
I think 16 pages should count even if it isn't the whole chapter yet. There's still another... I don't know, whole bunch.
And it's all very fiddly stuff, close reading drawing on distinctions in the original greek. Which is why I like it. But it's a bugger to try and compress.
Also I've run out of paper and my fingers hurt. I don't usually do things on paper. I know I could get my laptop out and type things, but then I'd have to balance my book on it somehow, and I couldn't be bothered.
so now I'm grouchy, whiny, and tired, and I've decided I've done quite enough.
I shall turn up to class and speak confidently on those 16 pages and hope.
blah. college hard. why I do this again?
In other news, I have another plot bunny really nagging at me for another script.
I mostly know what goes in it. I could start it. And possibly middle it. And probably end it.
... I have to do myth & med. We have two more lessons of Greek tragedy and then an exam. I haven't tried writing exam answers yet. I've done a ton of reading but not focused it down into answers. I must concentrate.
I don't know how I'm going to manage to take a whole other weekend for the Whoniversal Appeal conference. I mean, I'm surviving this week, but I rather dislike this feeling of not being caught up. There isn't an exam for the second half of the semester though, just an essay, and much more time for it.
If I'm going to the conference I still need to find a hotel. Urgh. Too many things to do.
Must finish tomorrow and then make a list.
... my hand hurts, my arm hurts, and my handwriting still entirely *sucks*.
This is why typing is good.
I think I'm going to bed again.
