I WILL BE BUSY LIKE A BEAVER

[gogmagog]

Just got back from the Sanctuary, a bar near my house. A whole bunch of folks from my Chaucer class went there, ostensibly to make up a missed class earlier in the semester when the professor was ill, but in actuality to chat over pizza and beer. (Paid for by our professor, who now that she has bought us alcohol is officially the BEST PROFESSOR EVAR.) It was kinda fun, getting to know better some people I hadn't talked to very much over the course of the semester (and I'm sure folks got to know me a little better, since I was a little less reserved than usual thanks to the beer).

Er, what else? Oh, I settled on a final slate of classes for next semester: the Victorian women poets seminar, the Shakespeare readings course, the early American readings course, and History of Western Letterforms (which looks interesting and has a calligraphy component). However, I've also told Judith (my Romantic Lit teacher) that I'd be interested in the Matilda reading group she wants to organize, based around constructing a publication-quality paper on the book. So all that means 12-15 semester hours (depending on whether or not the reading group goes through), 9-12 of which are graduate.

AUGH BYE-BYE FREE TIME

...I'm going home tomorrow! :D

Edit: Oh, and some of you may remember the Ruth Price event I talked about here. Well, the event happened yesterday, and according to my mom Ruth Price actually kind of knew me secondhand because she had Googled herself before and that LJ entry came up. XD

Actually, I went to Kingston for a year of study-abroad during my undergrad, and really enjoyed it, so that's why it's in my interests. Now I'm at the University of Iowa doing my PhD. (I still miss Kingston though...)

But y'know, it was pretty cool going through your recent LJ entries and being all "oh, I remember the Cocoanut, and Oceana, etc.!" I have pretty good memories of Kingston and still have friends there.
