Chaucer....You Mother Fucker.
Holy shit, I cannot believe I have gotten this much finished. See, I did the stupid thing....I waited too long to get my Take Home Exam finished and in order to have enough time to read through it, read over my notes, double check my facts to make sure I've included everything, and finally, to check my grammar............I have stayed up really late. I have class tomorrow, and I need to be in the shower by noon.
I worked tonight and would have been stuck there for a lot longer, had Christine not been so merciful on my procrastinating ASS. I took her cut and I've been in front of this lap top ever since.
I just want to quote an essay prompt here, for you all....this is what I'm dealing with:
*INHALE* "Write an essay discussing the Wife of Bath as both author and reader (author of what? reader of what?). With what kinds of texts does she engage and where does she first encounter them? Are they her only sources of knowledge? What is ironic about her use of the word "gloze" at various points in her prologue? How does the tale she tell reflect on 1. the realities of love and marriage in Chaucer's time; 2. her autobiography in the prologue; 3. the Arthurian romance tradition? What details from her description in the General Prologue become more meaningful after we've read her Prologue and Tale?" *EXHALE*
Yeah. There are three more just like that, too. I've already gotten those finished. I'm pretty much done with this one, too, but I want to walk away from it for an hour or so. Then, I want to go back and revise it.
So....That means I'm still awake when the sun comes up.
I need some sleep. I can't drive to Tampa on no sleep. So, when I'm finished with this, at what? Six in the morning? I'll sleep until noon, then get ready for school. *bleh*
Only.....SHIT......only five more weeks. Holy mother of GOD.
