Thesis

Yes, I know I haven't written in a good long while. My excuse: 25-30 page senior thesis.

My thesis is on the evolution of the hero. It originally began as this genius attempt to trace the evolution of the hero throughout British literature (from Beowulf to Frodo Baggins). Unfortunately, that turned out to be way too long and (as I could not find any way other than chronologically to organize it) very boring. A 30 page chronological paper is boring, by the way; I learned that in my Rhetorical Criticism class. My professor looked exactly like Kevin Spacey, but after I got over that distraction, I did learn a lot.

Anyway, my thesis now compares the evolution of Sir Gawain (without a doubt, Arthur's most adaptable knight) to the evolution of Batman. That's right, folks, I wrote my thesis on Batman. Who knew I was such a nerd! Wait, everyone probably knew that...

Oh well, more on this later. I must now edit my 27 page thesis, so that it will be perfect and I can be proud of it. After that I must finish a short story for another class. Funny, it was a comedy in my head, but on paper, it's probably the most dramatic thing I've written.

Also, I earned my green belt in Budo Taijistu last night!  Which means I'm not awful!  Yay!
