Why did I think taking two senior seminars in one semester as a junior was a good idea.
Why did I think taking a Chaucer seminar was a good idea.
Why am I reading so many poems in a language that I don't speak.
Why did I decide, once I found that Middle English is just too hard to muddle through on my own, that it would be an even better idea to transcribe all the poems, and then write the translations out next to the Middle English.(!).
And why, why oh why do I really, really, really enjoy it?
I am such a nerd and I am officially destined to be one of those people who sits in dark rooms full of ancient texts that the protagonists always find and get crucial information from.
(That being said, I have a Tolkien seminar. My homework is to read Lord of the Rings. Life is so good.)
