I was wondering if any of my lj friends use Google reader for their RSS feeds.  Recently Reader has introduced a comment system, which I find pretty useful and fun.  However, I only have about 5 people who share their items with me (and vice versa) and I feel like it would be more fun with more people ( Read more... )

Reading Heart of Darkness I feel completely entranced.  How is it that I book I have read at least a dozen times in my life (honestly, it could be twice that much) can still pull me in like this?  Conrad is, next to Shakespeare, the master of the English language.  Also, Marlow is the greatest narrator in the history of literature.  Strong claims, ( Read more... )

Mr. Wyatt, Ms. Higeura, and Mr. Salem are on my committee.  I do not know them, but am excited nonetheless.  Dunno when my oral is scheduled for yet, though.

28 pages *cue ff7 victory fanfare*
the title, if anyone is interested, is "The king is not himself": The Character of Richard II
i bought mr. tuck some nice wine and am gonna make him some homemade beer-gouda bread tomorrow also, since he was the best adviser i could have asked for.

the annoying thing about editing is you end up deleting more than you add.  as such, I only have 26 pages (but I haven't written a conclusion yet).  So my hopes of 30 pages are a little less likely of being realized.  oh well, i like my paper and I am proud of having written as much as i have!  will definitely be done by friday so i can get it all ( Read more... )

good luck everyone, saturday night is going to be glorious.

It is strange I did not know this about myself, by I write best in the hours between midnight and 6 a.m.  I am not even really in a rush to get my paper done (I have 7,500+ words, more than 1,000 over the minimum) and everything I have is pretty good.  I just found staying up last night working on it to be kind of...good?  fun?  so I am doing it ( Read more... )

I think I have finally become nocturnal.  Its 1:15 a.m. and I am not even a little bit tired ( Read more... )

21 pages done, still some more to go but I am excited and my paper is in pretty good shape!  definitely bona fide probably even satisfactory, but i want it to be really good which i think it can be ( Read more... )
