Aw how cute is Pepe? Bless him. His moustache is such a mess. He gets food in it and then gets all messy when he sleeps and he doesn't let us brush it down or anything! Maybe he likes being a little scruff.
Semester 2 has started again! I have changed modules from Early Modern Women Writers to Modern American Fiction - much more me. I don't think I could have coped on Early Modern Women Writers. When I say early modern, I don't mean like Virginia Woolf and stuff, but like Aphra Behn, Amelia Lanier and other unheard of stuff from the 17th century. Yawn. Now I'm in my 3rd year, I feel like I really like more modern and contemporary stuff. Okay, maybe I'm not a 'proper' English academic because I don't like renaissance literature and can barely understand it to be honest, but I wanted to study English because I enjoy reading and that, so I feel I should study things I enjoy reading now. I'll probably do better too, because I'll be interested in it. I know I get dire marks if I don't 'connect' with a text.
Today I went for the first swim in about 6 months. I did 30 lengths in 30 minutes which was pretty much my old speed so I must still be quite fit! This pleases me. Now, I am going to relax and read some of The Bell Jar (since that's on my reading list! squee!)
