biggest thing to happen to me in the last couple days: i'll be teaching an enrichment mini-course at carleton during the first week of may. i'm not sure if they edited my title, but it was "What's this Shakespeare guy talking about?"; my course is based on Shakespearean adaptations--but not direct adaptations (aka there will be NO BBC versions of any plays), but instead the quasi-adaptations that have infiltrated the movies over the last decade.

i'm quite nervous to teach the course, but i do have a ton of time to prepare. there is a guarantee that the maximum number of students is 23, and i figure if we're watching movies every afternoon, they'll at least pay a bit of attention.

the best part of the experience, next to gaining teaching experience and other such nonsense, is the pay--$900 for 5 days! awesomeness :)

and in other news...

-first semester of my MA is coming to a close; i still have 3 papers to write, and each prof wants to have a party to finish off the semester...
-if all goes according to plan, there will be no bentley this christmas, and instead i'll be doing extra hours at the government--making far more money and not having to be at bentley
-maybe some other stuff, but i won't post abou it just yet...
