I have not updated this poor thing in forever. Part of that is because of Senior Paper, so that'll take up the bulk of this entry.

For those that don't know, I'm writing my senior thesis on Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (and for anyone whose reaction was to cringe and wonder if I'm a nutter, well, I am, but try to realize that the way ( Read more... )
