What was I thinking?

hildy89I have committed nanowrimo. In unsound mind and shaking all over, I signed up. Never mind I currently have the schedule from Hades... never mind I'm already taking an online sf writing class... I signed up.
I know I don't have a prayer of finishing. I never write that long fic anyway. Oh well, like you say, I don't lose anything for trying... maybe except my mind. I'm debating a few projects, depending on whether I want to work on the fantasy novel or attempt something "easier". I haven't decided whether I'll add another journal.
The class just started this week. As I feared, the class is science fiction geared, so fantasy stuff is discouraged. The first lecture is on the generating ideas and defining science fiction. If I can get past the first assignment, I should be okay. Then I have to work on my "show piece" which comes up for critique in *gulp* two weeks.
Work is crazy. I learned the hard way that I need to be there on time, because some eager beaver types will take their papers beforehand, messing up my organization and leaving me to remember what they were due. I don't even know why they're given the combination to the library. Technically the library isn't supposed to open until 9am, but they *have* to have those papers. Is it *that* hard to wait if I'm behind schedule?
