Progress

Progress is going slowly. Last semester I was totally swamped with teaching. This semester I have one less class, but it's supposed to be used to prep a new course for the fall. And this break was only 3 weeks short with one weekend taken up by the MIT Mystery Hunt (soon to be blogged on my main blog). However, I did recently pick up a reprinting of a 1910 book with the Greco-Roman myths, as well as a bit about the Mesopotamian ones. It'll serve as a starting point to refresh my memory on the myths.

Oh, and the B&N teacher's discount is only for K-12. :(
