Objectives to be completed before I can graduate:

1. Research paper on Louisa May Alcott's sentimental novel, Work: A Story of Experience, discussing its generic instability in the light of authorial intentionality and sentimental aesthetics. This will build on my earlier essay for the same course on Alcott's story, "Transcendental Wild Oats."

2. Essay on the controversial 1999 film adaptation of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park.

3. Old Norse essay -- topic to be decided.

4. Thesis on women in medieval Icelandic society as they appear in legal and literary texts.

5. Take-home exam April 7-13. Never done one of these before!

I just know you wish me luck.

That's quite a list. Old Norse essay--you have to write one (that could be tough) or write about one? :)

amen to that. Get cracking...

Take home exams are fun - imagine an open book 3 hour exam ... but you actually have time to correct grammar and spelling. Of course, expectations are somewhat higher. And the old norse essay - perhaps "stoking embers - love in egil's world", "leaving your cupboards bear - tales of Christianity from the west fjord" or you could just borrow the exam topic from 3P30 - "how important was the vision of 'Fair Fame' to the vikings as evidenced in the sagas through battle prowess, place-naming, wealth and poetry".
Have fun with the end of term - I'll be giggling at you until my stretch of 5 exams begins on the 20th.

I love Louisa… I was the only 6th grader who dressed up as her for Halloween. ; P

You should find a way to include something about Hardanger fiddles. They are Norse and they have been around for a long time not to mention there is an entire society for Hardanger fiddles and music. There is a lot of folk lore and fact connected with the instrument. Ok, maybe you would be stretching it. Good luck with the topic.

If that were me with that list, I don't know that two weeks later, I'd have put a dent in it. Hope you're having good luck with it! I picture you at your computer, typing away at that paper, wearing a Viking hat! :laugh:
