Jun. 25th, 2013 06:57 pmI got news yesterday from Banff, where my dad lives. As you may know, there's extensive flooding in Alberta right now, with Calgary getting hit, as well as Canmore and Banff. I don't quite know how extensive the damage in Banff is, but because it's in a kind of precarious position, its infrastructure has been affected by the floods - so there's no phones, no internet, etc. in some places. I called my dad to find out if they were OK, but all I got was the answering machine, and they didn't call me back. My uncle called me yesterday to let me know that my dad got in touch with him to let him know that they're OK, but that they're phone- and internet-less at the moment. But at least I know they're safe. Phew!
I finished my exams last week, so now there's just the last two parts of the BA exam left. We put in a few solid hours of studying on the literary theory yesterday with Marta and a few other girls, but I personally will have to do a repeat of that before next Wednesday, just to refresh my memory. Then there's the American literature part, which is probably going to be a pain, because they can ask questions like what was the route a character drove in a book we read three years ago, and OK, it's significant, but jfc, the details they ask for are freakishly, well, detailed.
I also have until next Friday to write the research proposal, and while I still have no idea how to go about doing that, I've got a vague idea about what I actually want to write, so at least there's that. I have a feeling the whole process is going to involve a lot of sitting in a library and making notes on what books I can use for the bibliography and then cobbling it together at the last minute. *sigh*
Things to do over the next week:
- STUDY
- research and write research proposal
- get new photos taken and printed out for BA diploma and grad school application
- possibly pack some of the non-absolutely-essential stuff around the room
- make appointment with family doctor
- make appointment with OBGYN
- maintain calm and clarity and sanity
ETA: I forgot to mention, Falling Skies, Longmire, Mistresses, and Warehouse 13 are uploaded, as well as the pilot for Under the Dome, if anyone's interested.
