Salame!

Not having posted in several weeks, I figured now is as good a time as any to take the ol' blog out for a spin. I am pretty sure this is because I have like 200 pages of reading to do before tomorrow, and so far all I've worked on today is fiction writing (which is definitely not for a class. Oh, and I'm at work, too, but so far that's only consisted of 3 meetings and sourcing the paper.)

I hate when I have to read something for a class that I've already read for another class years before. This time it's D.H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers. I have to read 150 pp of it by tomorrow. I read it at UNCG in the same class in which I slogged through Ulysses. Part of the entertainment of that class was that it was taught by a woman who was, shall we say, very conservative. And it was interesting to see her try to negotiate the obscenities laced throughout Ulysses. But to stick with my original, extremely banal point, rereading something you already had to read sucks, because you don't remember exactly what happens well enough to get away with not reading prior to discussion and essay-writing, but when you do read it, it's all hazy and half-familiar so nothing surprises you and it's not fun.

I just wrote like 3 paragraphs that I thought better of posting. NOBODY needs to know that much about me.
