RC Circuit/Kirchhoff rules question??

Regarding the loop rules.

I am trying to solve a problem with 2 batteries, 3 resistors and one capacitor.

I know the rules regarding the loop and traversing resistors and batteries. My question is, what happens when the direction of current I choose flows into the negative end of the capacitor? Is that even possible or do I have to choose a different direction of current?

Thanks
