Almost there
Contempt of Court paper: the issue is mostly unravelled, and dear gods does it get complicated right before the Supreme Court challenge. I guess that's why they took it to a higher court, as both sides were getting tangled up in their definitions. I'm feeling very glad that I decided against Science/Law all those years ago. Two sections to finish writing, and then the conclusion.
--> Complete by tomorrow lunchtime. Print it out, go to uni, hand it in.
Crazy layout project of craziness: much heavier workloads are looming over the next three weeks, and I need to get this finished. So, I've asked to be able to do the second chapter myself, in order to get onto the index etc faster. After that I'll see just how long it takes to upload 500MB of art + 80MB other files, with a 512/128k connection.
--> Finish chapter by tomorrow night. Export ch1-5 as PDFs, compile index on laptop Thursday. Start uploading on Friday.
Then, there's a busy weekend followed by a week ofplaying with fire 'doing research' for another nonfiction feature. http://www.homeofpoi.com tutorials, here I come :) Also, writing a media folio by next Friday.
Due around the end of the month:
29 May: 1500 word nonfiction feature + 400 word exegesis
29 May: 2 x 800 word short pieces (nonfiction)
29 May: Minor Editing assignment (proofreading)
2 June: 2500 word Defamation Law paper
5 June: Major Editing assignment
After the end of May, almost all my weeknights open back up again. Even better, by June 9th I've handed in everything I'm working on - work, uni, the lot. After (or at) Retrocon I intend to start hunting you lot down, as I miss seeing living, breathing people on any sort of regular basis.
I also intend to pick up my paintbrushes again. With four large commissions lined up, I might actually be able to pay some bills with my mercenary pigments. It's also time to sharpen up those sculpting skills.
