I'm going to Edmonton to be useful photographer/ra-ra person a la Georgeanne at Regionals!!!
T'will be fun whether Erin and I qualify or not says I.
I don't like Beowulf, the translator manages to make it unbelievably dull and the verse arrangement doesn't hold my attention very well I must say. I was amused by the alliterations for a while but now that amusement has waned, in part because I haven't read much of it lately, as in I'm reading Chapter XXIX and I should be done (XLIII). Ack!
I'm off to read it now so I'm not dead tomorrow because we're supposed to be done reading and most of our questions so we can do some vocab tomorrow... Yah.
On the upside I handed in my acceptable journal entry as Grendel's Mother.
I'm going to go now, g'night all,
Me.

I kind of want to read Beowulf. I'd need to find a good translation tho. The translation I found of The City of Ladies wasn't very good either, but it was good enough to hold my interest, which is obviously important.
I need to talk with my sister... As her best friend is a Old Norse specialist I think they'll know a good copy
