I guess this means I got things done today. I spent a few hours studying Russian history this morning with a woman from my class and got some stuff done, though now I've also got a lot more things to do. We decided we'd go through the IDs early and we're doing a lot of preparation for things like the essays. I'm meeting with her again Wednesday morning and we'll see how it goes from there.
Major list cross-off is that I finally figured what story I'm going to submit for Clarion along with "Fire and Ice." Of course it's the one I was so certain I was least likely to send, but after I re-read "Cold War, Cold World" for the first time in I'm not sure how long, I realized that I like it. It's rough in places but it's the easiest to patch over the course of the next week. I can tell you a billion things that are wrong with it but hopefully people will get too caught up in the story to really care. (Let's just say I'm glad I can't take this into my fiction class to get workshopped -- they'd rip it into small, predictable pieces.)
I've (of course and as usual) got other things to do. I'm halfway through Hamlet again and it makes me think of Mr. Krucli. I sent him an e-mail the other day to let him know how helpful his class has been for me. Seriously, he's the reason why I'm making it through my Shakespeare class this semester. Or at least one of the reasons.
I leave you on this note: A Knight's Tale (the movie) is so much funnier when you've read Chaucer.
Okay so I lied and I'm not needing you. I need a better title for "Cold War, Cold World" and also anyone who feels they have enough time to read it between now and Tuesday to give me suggestions on what to fix should e-mail / comment / call so that I can send you the newest copy. That's all.
