Halloween!
Okay, I am a day late for posting on Halloween, but I have a very valid reason! I was out all day on a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon. It was fantastic! We had gorgeous weather which made everything just that much better. I visited Shakespeare's Birthplace, which was just as much fun as it was the first time I went through it. Then we had about 3 ( Read more... ) -
Too Early!
In my opinion, things happen way too early over here in England. On Sunday we had a time change, so the clocks got bumped back an extra hour, which is fine ... if you like having sundown at 4:45pm. It's a little ridiculous. I studied all day in the library doing research and such for my essay (which I'm really excited to write) and I was walking ( Read more... ) -
Surprised? I'm Not!
For my essay this week, I'm reading Henry V. In one word, inspiring. I want to talk like King Henry. His speeches are detailed, full of imagery, awe-full, and inspiring. He's just so gifted! I could listen to/read his speeches all day long and be completely content. I very much enjoyed reading this play. I'm even more excited that I will get ( Read more... ) -

"So how's the extradition fight going?" asked Madeleine as soon as they were seated and they all had some dinner in front of them.
"Okay, I think," said Prometheus, pouring some gravy. "Zeus' lawyers are preparing for the case. They claim my punishment was entirely just under Mount Olympus law."
"Hardly fair, is it?" put in Pandora from the ( Read more... ) -
Nostalgia
I went out on this lovely fall day and visited a cafe. I sat down, ordered a muffin and a mocha, and read another 10 chapters in my book. I only have 3 more to go! I'm going to copy out a portion of the book that I really enjoyed today. However, due to it's length, I will put it in a link. If you want to find out more about humanity's real ( Read more... ) -
My New Obsession
So....instead of finishing up my reading yesterday for my paper on Macbeth....I kind of ended up staying up all night, watching all of The Office, Season 2 until about 3am. Whoops! *blushes* I LOVED the ending and I can't wait to find out what happens next! YAY ( Read more... ) -
A Paper and A Movie
I got up early this morning! I actually enjoyed it too. Maybe I'll start getting up earlier from now on. It's nice to feel like I have the house to myself. Everyone else was sleeping this morning, and I was awake, showered, and working on writing a paper that was due by 6pm. I think that the paper actually turned out very good. One of the ( Read more... ) -

I'm trying to avoid writing my next Shakespearian paper right now. I have done all my research, read everything I needed to, have an outline, and have completed the bibliography, but I just can't seem to motivate myself to write the actual paper. Blarg. At least I still have until 6pm tomorrow. Perhaps I'll indulge myself tonight and hang out ( Read more... ) -
Leaving, On a Jet Plane
Well folks, this is it. I'm sitting on my bed, completely packed and ready to leave for England. I will be leaving home in about 2 hours and I will not return until December. I fit all the necessities of my life in two suitcases, a backpack, and my computer case. Surprisingly, I'm not feeling all that nervous at the moment. Actually, my ( Read more... ) -

Feeling great right about now. It's been a good day. I slept in, I bought a new pair of shoes, I got a large portion of my packing done, had some great intelligent conversation, and I am listening to a great soundtrack ( Read more... )
