I decided that before I disappear once more from here (as though I have been on here much anyways) I would post what my last semester of classes will be about. I just need to finish this semester and I will have finished my Bachelor degree in English with a minor in Fine Arts. Yes!

Yes they are! Thank you very much. Right now I am trying to learn Middle English so that is...challenging but fun at the same time. Every time I write an 'e' at the end of a word right now I pronounce it with an 'a' in my head.

Oh wow. Is learning Middle English apart of one of your classes or just a personal goal?

It is for my class where we are reading Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. We have to memorize the first 18 lines of the General Prologue; she is also making us read the text in Middle English so I have to at least have the pronunciation in my head to help figure out what words mean what at times (like "arrows" is spelled "arwes" and it is only when you pronounce it that you begin to hear what it sounds like). It is really fun in some instances such as saying, "yonge sonne" (young sun) in Middle English just rolls off the tongue in a whimsical way.
