12/31: under the wire
I had set myself today as a due-date for posting online my past conference papers and course reading lists related to Classics and children's literature. I posted the course reading lists during the spring semester, but the conference papers took longer to pull together--partly because I was somewhat blocked about doing it, partly because I spent the summer working on a new project, and partly because I unexpectedly needed to use my Friday Quiet Writing time this past semester for other things. But I've been working over the past ten days to get it done, and today I finished reformatting/revising the final paper and putting them all up on Pegasus.
12/30: a very helpful library aide
...at the county public library. She directed me to a section I couldn't find and then helped me locate my books. They were Dungeons & Dragons manuals that I had used in a conference paper, and I needed to get the page numbers of the illustrations I referred to. But she didn't know that--she just knew I was looking at D&D stuff, so she made sure I knew that, although the manuals couldn't be checked out of the library, she'd be happy to help me make copies so I could be sure to leave with the information I needed. Very nice of her to be thinking of the needs of D&D players, even if I wasn't one!
12/28: holiday sandwiches
...made with lettuce, cranberry sauce, hummus, horseradish, and slices of vegetarian field roast (which we call "beast").
12/27: revisiting
...old conference papers as I prepare to post them online. And it's a quiet pleasure to re-see what I thought and how I wrote about it.
