I am currently finishing the application for the London Semester (it's a sure thing, the only problem is if not enough people apply) which is due this Friday with a hefty deposit. I have a meeting with my adviser on Monday to draw up the final plan for my degree program.
This semester's classes are mostly OK, a lot of necessary stuff I have to slog through but two are becoming really interesting: History, Memory and War and Women Writers.
The first is not military history but what our culture's perception of war is, and how we remember it. We read a book on the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial last week. And Women Writers while burdened by some feminist essays (some of the theory is actually interesting and common sense - very little 'man-hating') it is great. We're reading Jane Eyre now.
I don't know, stuff and things.

let me know how jane eyre goes- jess loves that book. i thought it was pretty good but it took me forever to read
Yay Jane Eyre. It's so weird-- I love it. Mr. Rochester is an ass and I still can't help but be intruige by his character.
I am also filling out forms for the study abroad thing. I opted for the Jane Austen Centre internship as my first choice.
I want to go soooooooo bad. I hope you can too-- because I'm just 1 1/2 hours by bus on the main route. Visiting would be quite cool.
That makes me so proud, Myles, that you're reading Jane Eyre!!!! (Though it doesn't seem like you really have a choice in the matter as it is an assignment...and I only read it about a year ago.)
It's good...but so serious that I couldn't always take it too seriously. It's such a fantasy!!!! Very different from Jane Austen!!!!
YAY...I hope it all works out and you do get to go abroad!!!!!!!
i read Jane Eyre I think right before senior year. I loved it, i want to read it again sometime soon.
