No more essays for the week!
I just finished my last paper due this week. Today I turned in the six page Queen Elizabeth paper, tomorrow morning I turn in the 4 page Literary Criticism. Then all I have to do this weekend is WATCH MOVIES and read Love's Labour Lost by Shakespeare.
I'm really happy that I have nothing to do the rest of the weekend and now I can go get my money's worth from my Cinequest passes. I've been really happy this year that so many movies have been really outstanding. It truly lived up to my expectations that this would be the best year ever. Now if only school will cooperate next year!
(What am I talking about? I'll be in GRAD SCHOOL next year, can you BELIEVE that???)
Tomorrow I have four movies on my schedule:
The Metrosexual
Young Single and Angry
Glory Boy Days
Speed Dating
I asked one professor yesterday if she thought I was up to grad work since I an consistently unhappy with my papers (yes, even though I get A's on them). I got an emphatic YES from her and that made me feel better.
Today I did some research on my own regarding a Greek myth that I had remembered about a woman named Pasiphae and a possible obscure connection to Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. I emailed what I had found out to another professor and her response was "WOW!" and said she would help me turn my ideas into a conference paper.
It's been a very difficult semester, but things are finally starting to come together. I'm starting to feel comfortable with what I'm doing and more optimistic that I am cut out for the life of an English Professor. It definitely takes a certain kind of person to like that life I think, but when I do discover research that really interest me, like today, then I know I have definitely made the right choice.
And now it's 12:40am, I have a 9am class and then movies to watch from noon to 11pm, so I think it's time to go to bed.
