I feel like I'm spending more time comlaining about this project than actually working on it.

One of the problems is that in this one book that I'm using to describe the dialects, each one is written up by a different person, so it's difficult to compare them, since what's significant to one might not be to another. Another problem is that each description of a dialect is based on analysis of one text... and that is just totally wrong (if only because they're often poetry, or official documents and don't give an "accurate" portrayal of everyday Middle English, as if we can totally for sure know what that is like.)

I'm probably staying up most of tonight to finish this once and for all- I'm worried that it's not going to be that good, but... I really, really don't want to disappoint The Professor any further. Also, I have an annotated bibliography due on Wednesday that's supposed to be about 20-25 sources, on Cree and Linguistic relativity. Frak.

ETA: DONE!!!

Now, to go to sleep now, or start sketching out ideas for annotated bib. Hmm.

1) Put your music player on random
2) For the first 20 tracks, find a picture of the artist via Google Images
3) Get your friends to guess the artist.

this might be kinda hard for some of them... also, kind of eclectic )

If it weren't so damn cold and windy out, I'd probably be walking over to Michael's right now to pick up some more yarn. *twitch*

I know it's because I'm overtired and stressed, but I keep starting to cry and the stopping. There's not one thing that's wrong, just a lot of little things that aren't totally right, so. I'm in a mood, and of course this happens when mom actually goes out for the night (probably confirming to her the idea she has that I'm still clingy.) So now it's just me, the cat and The Tempest (which I have to read for class on Monday, even if that's totally not what the schedule says.) The funny thing is that apparently I'm the only one who in class who has ever read The Tempest before (which makes me feel so old...) but because I wasn't there on Wenesday, I'm probably already behind (nah, I know that there are others who won't start reading until Monday morning, because it's a first year English class and that's how things roll.)

I'm going to give Danica a try next.
