Quick! I need an opinion or two on something from you academic-types!

Hokay. So y'all know the esasy [of awesome] I was talking about before? Well, I'm intending tomorrow to go down to the Reid library and primary-source it up [or HSS-reserve it up, whichever you find most amusing], so, does anyone think it would be incredibly foolhardy to leave the essay I write today 200-500 words short of the word count so that I can fit in quotes and stuff about quotes?
Or do you all think it'd be wiser to write the whoole thing, then go back and footnote ideas and cut/paste stuff in? Personally I'm more fond of the first option, but as I am fresher I will humbly ask for guidance.

Perseus is teh bomb.


That is all.

Ah! And (I didn't reply to your sms because of lack of credit) what was that about "Jason and the Argonauts"? I probably have the original sheet, somewhere, but that somewhere is probably the shed. Under lots of other stuff.

(I figured that must have been the case :)) Hehe. My essay was on *thinks* er, the contribution of heroes to cultural memory, using Greek Mythology [and Greek Heroes]. I was actually focusing on Perseus [who is awesome] but I wanted to give an example of the point that heroes were necessary because while they're greater than the average human, and thus more interesting, they're less than a god, and so can't get away with bad things... like for example, Zeus can sleep with whoever the hell he wants, because he's the king of the gods, but Jason is punished quite impressively for betraying Medea. That is all. It's okay though, I just wrote it in without a footnote... eheheh... And the Reid Library's copy of Argonautica is gone *weeps* But it's all good.
Thanks anyway Aunt Pol :)
