Scrolling through the course offerings at LSU looking for an Environmental class I'm supposed to work with, I passed the English offerings and saw the class "Literature and Madness". What I wouldn't give to be able to sit in on that! Maybe they'll offer it again some time.

Well, I am now officially graduated with an MLIS and an MA in English. I even got an A in my Romantic poetry class, which surprised me, because I was hovering in the A-/B+ range before the final and I rather thought I did poorly on it ( Read more... )

Ok, so this damn cold thing that I thought was just cold + fever has gotton worse, not better, and now I have a particularly sore throat. Not ouch-I've-been-coughing-too-much sore throat, but big-swollen-strep-feeling sore throat ( Read more... )

Paper is done and turned in, although it is, in my humble opinion, a pretty crap paper. Ah well ( Read more... )

4 1/2 pages. At least that's progress. It only has to be 8 pages, but I have a feeling it's going to take me more than 3 1/2 more pages to say what I have to say. I hate papers.

Just finished "The Eve of St. Agnes", which must be one of the most bewitching and ambiguous poems I've ever read. Can't wait to discuss it tomorrow. I think I definitely want ( Read more... )

Ok, so I survived the period of no internet access -- the internet just came back on a few minutes ago and I go home in 15 mins.

I wrote the biography and synopsis of Carter's career, the critical reception of The Bloody Chamber, and a few extra pages on Carter's use of fairy tales in general. The only thing I haven't written that needs to be ( Read more... )

Paper finished. I'll probably look over it at work tomorrow with an eye to editing, since I don't even want to look at it any more now. But it's about a paragraph short of 10 pages, not counting the sources list.
