Yesterday, I finished George Orwell's classic work of dystopian psychological horror, 1984, which I read for the Mythgard Institute's Dystopian Tradition class, taught by the estimable Amy H. Sturgis. It's the second time I've read the book, though I'm not entirely sure when I first read it. In college, perhaps? In any case, it was more than ten years ago.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity, and privilege, of attending the first Annual "Mythmoot" hosted by the Mythgard Institute. I've written about Mythgard before, but for some reason I failed to make note of the Mythmoot before it happened. Now that it has occurred, I refuse to make the same mistake.

So, I'm taking a break from working on Freedom Plot today to do my final exam for the class I'm taking (I suppose it's "have taken" now – or maybe "just took") at the Mythgard Institute. And no, this blog post is in no way a procrastination of said exam....
