Midterms and Memes
Ok, midterms just came and swallowed me up. 3 tests, two days, and I've got more next week. My brain is fried... I did get a couple papers back though, which is good. I did better than I thought for the paper in my Jane Austen class (on Northanger Abbey, in case you were curious). The assignment sheet makes a big deal out of originality and so

Questions:
1. Well, I've always loved to read, and I'd rather study that than anything else. And in high school, I would be able to write away on any topic the teacher gave, but I had the hardest time seeing the "things" to write about on my own. So partly I wanted to be trained to analyze things on my own. It was a bit of laziness too, I think. I read very fast, and for the most part, reading and analyzing and spouting off in class tend to come pretty easy to me. I could have studied math or science or something, but it doesn't come as easily to me. And partly I knew I wanted to do something in a library/museum setting and this seemed to mesh best.
2. I've always always always wanted to go to Europe. Do a "Grand Tour" type of thing--London, Ireland, Wales, the lake Country, Paris, the Loire Valley, Switzerland, Austria, Versailles, and the list goes on and on. I've also wanted to go to a formal (formal!) event with a formal (not prom type) dress of my own, and dance. I've always wanted to learn how to ballroom dance.
3. Oh geez, I dunno. I'd like someone like Audrey Hepburn--it'd probably end up being someone more like Ruth Wilson (from the 2006 version of Jane Eyre). I don't really have anyone in mind that I'd pick to play me... :)

Working in a museum would be awesome.

I second all of this!
3. I sense you don't like this question. ;-) Ruth Wilson, huh? Do you look at all like her?

I would love to work in the Archives at a museum...I'm still homesick for the Archives Center that I worked in at DC.
3. *sheepish look* Yea, I'm not big into questions like that--I never know what to put! I don't look at all like Ruth Wilson, but at least in Jane Eyre, she's not really very pretty, except in certain shots/certain lights/at certain times. And I feel that way a lot. I'm not striking or pretty, but at certain times or at certain angles, I can be. There was this one girl on the PBS show "Zoom" about 10 years ago who looked *exactly* like me, but I don't remember her name. :) Oh wait, yea for google. http://pbskids.org/zoom/cast/homepages/zoe/ That's almost exactly what I looked like when I was about 10 or 11. People I knew kept asking me if I had seen the show and seen the girl who looked exactly like me. So, if she's still acting, she'd probably play me, just for sheer authenticity. :D

I feel that way about myself too. I confess, sometimes I stand in front of the mirror and tilt my head different ways trying to find the ways I look nice.
That's funny! :-D And it was probably a little weird too.

It was weird...I showed that webpage to my roommate, who had never seen the show, without any explanation, and the first thing out of her mouth was "she looks like you! Exactly like you!" They say we all have a doppelganger somewhere in the world; apparently I've found mine.

I'm not sure I'd want to find mine! Actually, when I was younger I had some friends that thought I looked like that girl who was on Wishbone. (The show with the dog, you know it?) I was flattered, but I don't know what made them think that. (I just looked up her picture, and we didn't look alike at all. So now I really don't know what gave them that idea!)
