Today was nice. Went to the movies (saw Narnia again). Found an interesting little thrift store. Looked around a bit. Relaxed.
Started a new class: Women In Literature. It's relatively new at the college; I think it and African American Lit are the newest additions to the catalogue. So far (one class in), I'm really enjoying it. Professor is passionate about the subject, and seems to know what she's talking about. Score one for this term: I will enjoy at least one class. Last term, I enjoyed none.
I'm so sleepy. Don't know why; it's only 11:30, and I took a nap after school. *yawn*
Going to try to get some writing done before I go to bed.

Date: 2006-01-11 08:22 pm (UTC)sounds interesting....
Date: 2006-01-12 06:02 am (UTC)Is it a characters-based thing, or more gravitating towards female authors?
And it is astonishing how beneficial it can be to have the instructor being passionate towards the subject. I wonder how many people get put off things which could be genuinely interesting, for the reason that there exposure to it at school was uninspiring.

Date: 2006-01-13 02:13 am (UTC)The authors we'll be studying are listed in the syllabus, but I don't have it with me right now. I know it includes Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Mary Wollstonecraft, Anne Bradstreet, Toni Morrison, and Kate Chopin. I think there are more, but I'm not sure.

Date: 2006-01-13 04:24 am (UTC)You've probably read it before but I think no women's lit is complete without Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own. It's relatively short so give it a read if you have the time.
Btw, are you ever going to finish the updated version of Blind Luck? I miss poor Matt and Georgie :)

Date: 2006-01-13 04:27 am (UTC)I'm so glad you asked about Blind Luck! Argh, I'm working on it, slowly but, well, not very surely, either, but I'm working on it. I got a little stuck in the last chapter, but I'm nearing the climax. I just want to finish it before I post anymore.

It's one of those stories I love to go back and reread every so often, and now that the old version is off the boards I have to content mysef with an incomplete work! I know I've been a bit of a lurker for the past.. well.... ages, but this is one story I've definitey not forgotten it. I'm so pleased it's not been completely abandoned :)
