It's been a while, long time, no type! I've been pretty busy with school; I've got two papers this semester. One for econ about the Eichengreen gold standard hypothesis of the Great Depression, and the "mystery paper" for my gen ed lit course. The lit paper should be fun once I get some info about it. All I know as of now is the expected length, and that I'm comparing some aspect of LOTR (my choice) to some aspect of one of the required readings for class. The prof isn't giving us much more info than that about what she expects, just saying that more info is forthcoming. I'm discovering that a lit thesis is somewhat different than the assertion/defense thesis I'm used to in economics. The real topic for lit is flip-flopping between comparing Aragorn from LOTR to Odysseus and the archetypal epic hero/king in exile, or comparing Sauron to Milton's Satan. As of now I'm liking the Sauron/Satan track, but nothing's set in stone yet.
