I am in love with my lecturer (again) He's insane, and articulate, and intriguing and knowledgeable and absolutely bloody charmingly hilarious
( Read more... )
Those lecturer's down at your uni sure get around don't they? In my whole career at college I've had the same teacher/lecturer maybe twice, most have their own special little subject and that's all they do. Ever.
Pathological poetry? Half-rhymes? All I get to do is dissect arguments into presmises and conclusions :P
Premises... if I could type today. I don't know, perhaps will all ths handwriting I'm doing now that I'm back in class is affecting my typing skills. Perhaps its a one-or-the-other type thing?
Well, while I'm at it... what did Jane Austen write again? I'm sure I've asked you this. I just seem to forget the little things. Oh - she wrote Pride and Prejudice, right? Well, seems I've answered my own question! hah.
LJ is where good spelling goes to die - don't stress!
Austen wrote many and (kind of) unvaried things including Pride and Prejudice - also Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey (which is a fairly amusing parody of the Gothic novel - but I'd honestly just preer to read Radcliffe. Also, I was writing a "story" and had a character called Henry Lockwood who I had pictured perfectly in my head - only to read Northanger Abbey (which I had never even glimpsed before) to find that he was the twin of a guy called Henry Tilney who is described (perfectly, and just like my Henry) as having a bedroom littered with "books, guns and greatcoats" What a pain!) She also wrote Persuasion, and Mansfield Park and more stuff I'm forgetting. If you've not read classic novels before though - I'd recommend (if you're interested!) to start with Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte - I have a severe continuing diagreement going on with one of my friends about whether this is actually a good book/the leads actually like each other and another opinion is

I am now in love with one of my tutors, as he gave me an extension. And not just any old extension! I wanted, like, the weekend, and he was all 'just hand it in at the end of break', which is like, October... Sweet!
Also - your icon... I've been suffering major Twin Peaks withdrawls this past week, and my dvds are all at home! I made cherry pie, which helped a bit (mmm, food coma) but it just ain't the same unless you're watching flirting at the crime scene whilst pie-ing.
ha ha ha ha *grin* thats so gorgeous. I totally understand the sentiment of tutor love - particularily over shared textual love. I am sure you are flashbacking to mr. coales too. lol.
lol Absobloodylutely. Although I don't recall ever actually giggling with Mr Coales - more cringe, less grin - but still <3
And yes! I got worried for a moment that he was confusing me with someone else, but he seemed to sort of light-up remembering thing when I said my name *shrugs* He's so sweet - I think I'll have to write him a note at the end of the year and thank him for getting me through uni (and linguistics...uggh)
"I am in love with my lecturer (again) He's insane, and articulate, and intriguing and knowledgeable and absolutely bloody charmingly hilarious."
Is it wrong to hope that more than a handful of my female students will be saying such things about me in a few years' time? I wouldn't do anything about it of course, because that would be unethical. Unless they're postgrads ;).
I'd pick Jane Eyre over Wuthering Heights nine times out of ten, but I liked both and WH is also a very cool Kate Bush song.
Oooh, I'll be a post-grad next year - there is hope for us yet! I'm sure his wife won't mind a bit. (With morals like these do you still want my opinion?)
I'd pick Jane Eyre over Wuthering Heights nine times out of ten, but I liked both and WH is also a very cool Kate Bush song Really? Perhaps it was just the circumstances I read them in that makes me prefer WH (though, ah, I do adore Heathcliff - crazy bastard) I feel Jane Eyre went off the tracks for a good third of the book - and I find the ending infuriating - but it wasn't so unrelentingly moribund as WH (but that's what made it so appealing to me...) I'm afraid my brother killed that song for me - playing it over and over and over again - it's probably time I tried to listen to it objectively again...
