Sorry I haven't been able to post anything. I entered my "end of year" exams and I'm so exhausted I coan't do anything besides work, eat and sleep. (Perfect example of what I want to say : I have an essay to write on Much Ado about Nothing for my British Litt. class. I began a month and a half ago. My first part is done, the second and third are half written, I have all the searches I need - York Notes Advanced is really great to work with - and I can't seem to find the time to finish it.)
Today I have a Spanish exam, tomorrow Listening Comprehension and Specialized Traduction, Friday Political Intitutions in America, French Litterature plus an oral presentation on Forster's The Machine Stops.
Then a week of vacations and more exams : American Litt (Poe. Hear me cry.), Poetry and Painting (Kerouac's haikus and japanese watercolors... Why ?), British Political Institutions (Yes, the Queen actually does something), British Litt (Shelley, Carroll, Blake ? Pick ! - Our professor is so cool. She wrote her thesis on Tolkien.), and Linguistics (Nicknamed "Mindf*ck 101" by the students.)
On a happier note, I should be in vacations at the beginning of May, so I'll have a lot of time to read and write. My newest purchases :
-A Keats Anthology (my friends' gift for my birthday)
-The Tempest, by Shakespeare
-A small anthology of British poetry
-Sometimes a Great Notion, by Ken Kesey
-Between Friends, by Amos Oz
-Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Safran Foer
I can't wait to begin them.
I was also wondering while studying if it would interest anyone if I shared the notes I take in my classes. We've studied a little of everything from Joyce to Tennessee Williams to Blake to Shakespeare, so it could be interesting.
Songs of the day : Scotland by The Lumineers and Back to You, by Twin Forks !
