Reading, Re-Reading, and Then Reading Some More

[annundriel]

Yesterday we started with our recitations in Chaucer. Lucky me got to go first. Apparently I "rocked." :D At the break, Dr. Bullon asked me if I was interested in reading at the Medieval Poetry Reading, which is where my last post came from. At first I was all "okay," and then, seriously, five seconds later I was backing out. By the end of class, however, I decided that there was no reason why I shouldn't do it other than a general nervousness in front of people. And if I said no there was the chance I'd regret not taking the opportunity to actually participate in something.

So I'm doing it. And I'm excited, but also a little freaked out. I'm going to meet with Dr. Bullon tomorrow to go over the beginning of "The Wife of Bath's Tale," just so I can make sure I've generally got the pronunciation down.

And, yeah. That's what's going on there.

Other than that, there just is not enough time in the day to do everything I need to do. Luckily, Dr. Weber pushed the paper that was due this coming Monday back to the Monday after that. Phew. There is still, however, this icky Donne biography paper due Friday. I'm currently re-reading the four essays for it. After awhile it starts to run together.

It's kind of funny and surprising that the Chaucer class has turned into my comfort class of the quarter. Although, wow, it's really doing funny things to the way I read modern English.
