bagheera_sanI'm busier than I have ever been in "summer break" (which turns out to actually be simply the time between lectures that is filled with even more work). I've got two term papers and three essays to write, am going to go to St.Petersburg with my grandma for a week, need to refresh my French for my new job and finally, I'll probably start working there before the new semester starts. Oh, and I also need to finish my CLFF fic until September 10 and play dungeon master for my RPG group. Whew. Tomorrow I'm invited at a friend's wedding. Where has my time for lethargy gone?!
I'm working on Term Paper #1 right now, which means several hours of reading papers on literary criticism each day. The topic is still somewhat nebulous "Marlowe's Edward II and New Historicism: Self-fashioning of a Renaissance monarch between the personal and the political" (I totally just improvised that title, but it sure sounds nice). New Historicism is great. I'm still not entirely sure what it is about, but I've definitely found my goal in life: become an English professor and write artsy and rather pointless but entertaining papers - because I love writing papers.
Next are the essays for the Star Trek cultural studies course. I haven't even decided which of the suggested topics to choose.
Finally I'll write a paper for linguistics on "Chomsky, Universal Grammar and language acquisition in great apes", which is a rehash of a paper I've done before but with a more linguistic twist. It shouldn't be that hard. Yay, talking monkeys! (Chimpanzees aren't monkeys. It has to be said. I need a chimpanzee icon.)
Also, I've passed Translation I (German to English) with a straight A. Yay!
