So I am finally doing some of Loki's intensive homework, one of which is studying and comparing different translations of the Eddas more than I have. I admit that part of the reason I haven't gone as in-depth into reading different versions and comparing them is that I don't have them printed, I don't have how to print the free versions (too many pages, too expensive!) and there is nowhere to buy them around here. I'm going to get some off of Amazon when I get the money to do so, but until then... I'm handwriting what I have.
I can't read a book on the computer. I can't concentrate after a while, and my eyes hurt. So each day I'm writing down some parts of the free copies of the Eddas so that when I'm done, I'll not only have different versions in physical form, but also have a better understanding. You see, it is much easier to understand the things you read when you copy or write them down yourself (that's what my friends say about cheating in tests at school).
As for the other things, I have (again) slacked off on baking, but I blame the shortage of supplies for it. Hel has also been keeping me busy with tending to the dead, and all that while we have tests to end the semester at school. But I wish to fix that over the short winter break. I've kept up with drawing and writing, though, which makes me quite pleased. I'm sure He is glad I'm not slacking off on everything.
He also seems quite pleased that I finally made the Templo de Loki look better, even if it needs adjustments. By tomorrow, I should be ready to start with article translations and a few more published pieces, to get it going. Another thing that (surprisingly, at least to me) seemed to make Him quite happy was my "tattoo money" jar, starting the savings for my next year and a half.
