I'm getting internet in the living room right now, which only happens once in a blue moon, since something's wrong with my wireless antenna. Therefore, I must write in my lj ( Read more... )

Today was my first day of class. So far so good, though I'll be the first to admit that one day isn't much to go on. After one of the meetings, two of my classmates were saying that they were glad they hadn't been asked why they were taking the course. "How," they asked, "can you say 'only because I have to?'" I'm putting my response on record ( Read more... )

John Donne's poetry rocks me. I bet he was good in bed, plus he had really great hair. I'm adding him to my list of fantasy sex partners, since my odds with him are only slightly worse than my odds with Christopher Eccleston or Cillian Murphy.

It is, yet again, around two thirty in the morning, I'm yet again writing a paper for class, and I yet again want to rewatch the end of the third season of Doctor Who, just like I wanted to (and didn't) last time.

Classes started! I have homework ( Read more... )

My classes start tomorrow with Advanced Playwriting from two to five. Wish me luck!

Recently, I started thinking about Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, which I haven't read all the way through since I was twelve or thirteen. I've started rereading it, and there's all kinds of stuff that affects me that didn't when I was in middle school. One of my dad's colleagues told him that I shouldn't be reading Dostoyevsky, since there ( Read more... )
