My 2007 in Review
January: Most Traumatic School-Related Memory (Although Now It Seems Rather Funny): The chronological placing of this memory is blurry because that time was so mixed up.
February: I don't think I've written a poem in a year or so...this was supposed to be a prose piece really, long and digressive but then I didn't take notes on it like I should have and most of the ideas dispersed and I was left with just enough to try to squeeze a poem out of.
March: The movie has been on my mind since I went to see it a couple of weeks ago.
April: So lately, I feel like I've seen a lot of news articles dealing with alternatives to burying the dead.
May: [nothing for this month-I think this is when I was drowning in work and having a miserable time of things in India]
June: On a number of levels, this trip to India (I just got back yesterday morning 6/12 around 1 am and am writing lj entries to fight the jetlag) reminded me of Dante.
July: [again nothing-I think I was busy moping about lacking direction and purpose]
August: The reasoning behind this ill-fated trip began the previous year when during the worst part of her chemo, my mother had decided that she wanted to complete a series of pilgrimages that every devout Hindu is supposed to make in his or her lifetime.
September: So, much to my shock and dismay, a paper I submitted to a Milton conference was accepted...and now I have to go and *present* it.
October: The Great Vowel Shift: You are thinking, “Was there one? When did this happen? Why was I not informed?”
November: Milton conference: Old white men and conservative papers everywhere.
December: Working on a paper, but had to stop mid-research to share this find (I don't know what possessed me to write about the use of French in Henry V when I only have 1 semester of French!)
