I solved my printer problem and came close to having a header for the LC and I like what I did.

At the same time, I was really frustrated with myself because that wasn't the best use of my time.

Here are my deadlines for finals:

Beowulf paper: May 16 Weds at 5 p.m., 15 pp. in theory

TMC paper: May 15 Tues, 20-25 pp.

Chaucer paper: May 21

Paleography Exam: May 7 Mon
Paleography Presentation May 2 Weds

How did I allow myself to become so disorganized physically this semester? I
