The last couple weeks of spring semester were brutal. I had to write 20+ pages worth of papers, take two 3 hour finals, and one final in the form of an interview with my philosophy teacher in which I feel I came off as really stupid. The history final went so poorly that I may fail the class. I have a tendency to start off really well then end up disappointing my teachers...I'm just relieved that it's all over. I really do want to get more familiar with Aristotle and straighten out my comprehension of the middle ages and rennisannce, which I'm going to try to do over the summer.
I'm reading Spenser's The Faerie Queene, which I got for Christmas and haven't had the time to get into until now, and it's pretty difficult. The early modern English isn't the problem--it's easier than Chaucer-- but there's a lot going on that's hard to keep up with without study guides. I've found a couple of good ones online, and I might buy or take from the library the Cambridge Companion to Spenser.
Went to see a performance of King John last week, which I enjoyed. In my opinion that's one of Shakespeare's most underrated plays.
People have been on my ass to hang out lately. I'm gonna try to get out more this summer, and be a better friend.
I'm not even gonna pretend that I'm looking for work. I'm just not capable of it right now.
There might have been more to tell but I can't remember.
