The Monday that would not end
Work took forever to be over. I'll just leave it at that. Busy, busy day, but boring.
I went to the Drama & Poetry lecture at 12:15 to 14:00, and it was...boring. Good thing, however - I'm ahead of schedule, having allready read the essay on versification. However, I must confess, I still haven't read the one on poetic syntax, but that's because my book doesn't have it, so I have to find someone who'll let me photocopy theirs.
Then, after some more work, I went to watch Othello at 17:15. Fitting perfectly in with the Monday that would not end, Othello was the movie that would not end. I dread reading it. Someone, please tell me that A Midsummer Night's Dream is better. Please?
However. Boring as it may be, it WILL be over. I am not going to quit. If I'm lucky, they'll totally forget to include Shakespeare on the final exam. It could happen. Sure it could, sure it could.
It's so cold out today. Autumn has hit full force, no doubt. There were little rivers of water flowing over the roads as I walked home from the bus, and this did NOT agree with my summer shoes. Why? Hint: They are not waterproof. My drenched socks are proof.
So tomorrow, off I go to the city to find new shoes. I tried looking for new ones this weekend, but decided I could bare to wait. Well, that decision doesn't hold any longer. New shoes are now a must. A new jacket might be in order as well, as the ones I wear now aren't warm enough, and the ones that are warm enough are either too wintery or too puffy. I also new need sweaters... My paycheck can't arrive fast enough.
Not that I'm short on money, really, cause if I was, I guess I would've cashed in that check from my former insurance company allready. Hmm...

Yeah, I've though about buying HP in french but I fear that the nameswapping will make me sick... One thing was going from norwegian to english, but from english to french? Meh! But we'll see :)
Oh, and it really doesn't take all that long to read Shakespeares plays out loud. It's much quicker than reading it silently because you're focused all the time and don't miss important points. Two-three hours maybe, slightly more for the tragedies, less for the comedies. And you really really need to read them before you see the movies if the movies don't have subtitles! Trust me on this one. I'd read and edited Much ado about nothing for months before I saw the Kenneth Branagh filmatization of it, and even then I had to be really focused to get all the details ;-)
