So I'm almost 10,000 words in, and I'm already struggling. I have so much work to do for school and everything, and now I have to write two essays that are due tomorrow that I haven't even started. Doing the one for Anthropology first, since Linguistics is easy and I should finish fairly quickly. After all that writing, I still have 3323 words to write for tomorrow. Ugh! So overwhelmed and busy. This novel is going well, I guess, but I'm not in love with it, and honestly, I don't think the plot is going to last all the way to 100,000 words. I might make it to 60,000 or maybe a little more, but then it's going to end and I'm going to have to go back and add like crazy. Maybe I'll have to have some more plot twists or something.
The fun thing is that I'm still not sure who she ends up with at the end. Halla was supposed to end up with Sibraht, the designated love interest, of course, but I'm not so sure any more. I like Oddr, her childhood friend who she left behind in Aarhus. Maybe I'll include a little more about him later. I've left a little space for myself in case I do end up wanting to include him. The Valravn cast a spell that will make people not notice she's gone, but if they have a strong enough emotion related to her, they're sure to remember her. Oddr is in love with her, so I'm pretty sure he remembers.
Oh! Maybe I'll have him follow them! Okay, it's a plan now! Off to go write some more, and maybe get my homework done too! Whee!

Hablaré sobre Haití, y lo que yo sé de este país tan pobre. En mi último año en la escuela secundaria, tuve una clase de las políticas y el gobierno, que todas las estudiantes tuvieron tomar, y por crédito extra leí un libro sobre Haití. El autor era un doctor que ayudó a los pobres de Haití, especialmente con la enfermedad de la tuberculosis. Construyó hospitales y pasó mucho tiempo en Haití, ayudando a la gente enferma. Él escribió mucho sobre lo que vio en Haití, porque mucha gente estaba enferma, pobre, y desnutrida y fue una visita (¿) muy, muy triste. El libro era de hacía muchos años, más de diez ahora, y los descripciones de Haití fueron tristes, pero ahora, la situación en Haití es mucho peor. Hubo un terremoto en Haití y muchas personas murieron. Las casas se destruyeron y no hay dinero para arreglar la situación. Mucha gente de otros países como los Estados Unidos está dando su dinero, ropa vieja, y otras formas de ayuda a la gente de Haití. Hay grupos de Facebook dando dinero para cada persona quien participa, grupos de conciencia, y organizaciones benéficas. Hay un concierto en Mount Holyoke para recaudar dinero por Haití. Todo el mundo quiere ayudar este lugar que la necesita.

I got an email this morning telling me I had failed my Hinduism class. Why? Because they think I plagiarized my final paper from this website. You might notice that link goes to this journal. My journal, where I write. Where I posted the paper to share with friends who might be interested. So.
I've emailed my professor, and I'm hoping that he'll be able to fix things for me or something. And I won't post any more papers on here, I guess. I really just want to fix this, I can't believe he thought I'd cheated. :(
I have to go catch a bus. I guess as proof this is really me, Anna Muench, I'm putting the letter I received beneath the cut (does that count? I guess if I was a really persistent cheater I could have contacted the person that ran this site and begged them to do it for me, but I don't know why they would, and if I was cheating, why would I point that out? Anyway...)

She just loves her parents. She throws tantrums every month, or every other, insisting on a visit to her mother's place. In these times, who can spend two rupees for the bus so often? You tell me. She just doesn't listen. A mother of two children, she's still childish. But then, she's really very young. My mother-in-law is a fusspot, but my father-in-law, he's large hearted, I tell you. After all, he knows the world. My mother-in-law says at times, "What right has my son-in-law to beat my daughter?" (108)

My Spanish teacher asked me to talk to her after class today. Apparently I'm doing really well in the class. So well she thinks I could be doing way better, and need a tutor. I guess my homework is significantly worse than my essay was, so I need to practice more! And I will study more and focus more on my homework, because she seems like she really thinks I could be awesome by the end of the semester. So. Going to start setting that up. Hopefully it'll be okay to do on the weekends because my free time is decreasing rapidly. I think I'll try to finish most of my homework for the week over the weekend, then just finish up readings, write responses, etc. during the week. Perhaps I will sit down tonight and just do Spanish homework for next week for 3 hours straight. That might be a better way to do this, since my mind will already be in Spanish. I don't know. I'm doing too many things, and really, I'm not doing all that much.

Mi profesora de espanol dice a mi que necisito un tutor, porque tengo buenas notas, pero no son perfectas, y piensa que estare magnifica a la fin del semestre si practico hablando en espanol con un tutor. Tambien, necesito centrarme en la tarea. Pienso que hacere mi tarea por la semana en un dia, quizas esto es mejor.
