Fall Break!!
So my fall break is going to be just peachy: I have to work the whole weekend! Ugh!
Okay, it's not really that bad. I only work until 9 tonight, and then during the day on Saturday and Sunday. I think I'm going to Dubuque (where all the college kids go for their extended shopping needs) to maybe get some new pants. Woohoo. There's also a Packer game on at some point, I believe. Other than that, it's playing WoW and reading The Faerie Queen for me!!
I know that sounds painful, right? Reading The Faerie Queen? I was supposed to read it for a class a couple of semesters ago but just sort of skimmed it then. I mean I got the gist of it and it was enjoyable, but this time I'm going to really carefully read it. First of all because I'm thinking that if I want to get into grad school I need to start trying a bit harder in classes, and second of all because I can't let Stormy down.
Stormy Stipe is my professor, and she's pretty much the most awesome person you'll ever meet in your life. I've been sick the past two weeks and she gave me orange juice one day and brought me a tomato the next time, for the vitamin C. She always tells me that I'm going to be a politician because we share the same views on politics at the moment, and we are both feminists. So I would really let her down if I didn't read The Faerie Queen, and plus our class only has about 6 people anyway, so it's hard to get away with not reading. But tiny classes are the BEST -- trust me -- because you learn SO much more and it's actually FUN. It's like sitting around with some friends and talking about something intellectual. Trust me, even if you don't really love going to class, small classes are amazingly enjoyable. Especially for someone like me, who loves literature. And in Platteville, small classes are not at all hard to come by; that's one reason I picked this school. Everything is compact -- and most of the people are really nice.
Anyway, I ordered a fancy little copy of The Faerie Queen from Borders the other day, so I'm hoping that it comes today. I want to be able to write notes in the margins. If I do make it to grad school, it'll probably be a good thing to have.
Happy weekend, I'm off to read... and play some WoW in-between. I can't let my paladin down, either. *winks*
