"I don't give a ----- about an Oxford comma," but I do care about the "4th Fear, Horror, and Terror Conference" in Oxford, UK because my proposal got accepted. That is to say, I might be going to Oxford a bit before September 12. This means:
1. I'm not going to Ireland (where I originally thought the conference was to be held, for some reason...)
2. I need to start saving money A.S.A.P
3. I really should graduate this May... (so I don't have to worry about the conference and more M.A studying.)
4. My mom is bursting with pride even though I told her my paper proposal was accepted. They could very well read my paper (to be submitted in August) and wish they had never accepted me...
5. I need to talk to Dr. Marchbanks about my Daniel Deronda paper *after* the M.A exam.
For those of you who care, which is, naturally, all of you: I wrote my paper about the nature of fear in Daniel Deronda, specifically in Gwendolen Harleth. Essentially, she needs her crippling, hysterical thoughts and reactions and even real, physical danger in order to make her a better, less ego-centric person. Without fear, she'd continue to be an arrogant, shallow person. (That's a summary of 16 pages.)
Um, God save the Queen?
No. Right now I need:
Keep Calm and Carry On!
Holy cow, merde merde merde! (Sorry, I know you hate that word but it seemed appropriate.) I'm so excited for you! I really hope it works out-- I'm sure it will. Yes, keep calm and go do your thing. :)
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Please bring me back one crumpet.
ReplyDeletehuzzah! Are you happier that you're going to Oxford? Or would you have preferred to go to Ireland?
ReplyDeleteThat would be *so* cool!
ReplyDeleted(>w<)b <----go, Lizzy!
Meredith: what is that symbol?
ReplyDeleteValerie: I can't tell. I think I would have loved to go to Ireland for my mom, but I do like Oxford and maybe I can stop in London and see my old place. Haha.
Sarah: Will do! I'm not sure how it will last in the mail, though...
Heather: thanks!
