The second week is done!

Breathe in...breathe out. I survived another round of tutorials. In...out.

And I didn't make an ass of myself in history! THANK GOD. It's still taking some getting used to, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I talked more than I did last week. By the time this is done, I might even have ditched some of the keep-silent inhibitions. Because you just can't do that here - or at least, you can't maintain it for any period of time.

Anyway. 'Tis done. Up next: King Lear and the social divide in the 1500s! (Not together, of course.) I kind of want to write on the eye/sight imagery in the play. We'll see what happens after I reread it.

And HELEN'S COMING THIS WEEKEND!!! We're going up to Salisbury tomorrow. Cathedrals! Stonehenge! Sisters! It's going to be fun.

  1. Woot! for not making an ass of ourselves! I hope you are having a great time over there! And glad to hear you'll have your sister soon. You guys should have fun. I just hope England knows what they're getting. :P

  2. Hey sweet stuff! You won't recognize this email address, because I'm sending from Sara Bailis' computer. But your blog is loads of fun -- what I miss most these days about not seeing you everyday is the on-going wit and energy of your responses to the world. This blog makes you very present. Funny you had to cross the pond to achieve that, eh?

    Daddy and I are having a wonderful time in San Francisco, but weren't about to miss your on-going adventure. Now that Helen is with you, I see you're not posting as much. Well -- better to be with analog company than digital company, right?

    We saw a T-shirt on the street yesterday with a pirate face on it and the slogan "Just Say No to Scurvy!' I practically asked the guy if I could have it. Daddy and I reacted exactly the same way (sorry about the danger posed thereby!), and had a great laugh.

    All our love to both of you, as ever,

    Mama
