Comps spam
Slowly, slowly comes the Paradise Lost. I'm breaking it up with various pieces by Alexander Pope, who is slightly more readable, and sort of funny. In a way. My Chickering translation of Beowulf came today, so I may start that soon. Or I might do Blake. Decisions, decisions. Speaking of which...
By, let's say, September 26th, since that's the date printed on my nice yellow sheet of paper, I have to turn in a proposal for the written part of my comps (my college's senior exercise, for anyone who's new around these parts). Since I've taken the intro courses in both poetry and fiction, I can get myself a creative writing emphasis on my English degree. That presumably means that I need to decide to do one or the other for comps. However, I have NO IDEA which I want to do. Write a 9-12-page story or 9-12 pages of poems?

SOMEBODY MAKE UP MY MIND FOR ME!!!
(Also? Submissions for Advanced Fiction are due in October. CRAP CRAP CRAP.)
