I'm working on Flickr now (I know, it's been 2+ weeks, but the Cambridge pictures should finally be up and labeled if everything goes well), so that'll be done. I'll put up the ones from this past weekend too, I think. So you can all see St. Julian's. (ETA: Fixed now!)
I've got nothing planned for the weekend except work. I've got to read the Physician's Tale and the Manciple's Tale (I figure I've already read the Wife of Bath and the Franklin, I can legitimately skip those if need be), prepare for my meeting with my creative writing professor on Monday (eek!), round up and edit at least 35 lines of poetry, write a "writerly apprasial of a contemporary poem", write an essay on the Celtic contribution to the conversion of the English, write an essay on Chaucer--I'm thinking the prompt on fortune and Providence is most workable in a week--, and prepare a presentation on the Life of Alfred and Anglo-Saxon Chronicle A, all by Thursday. Friday morning, I get up at 3:30-3:45 or so to catch the bus to the train station at 4:44, then catch the 5:50 train to Peterbourgh, ending up in Edinburgh at 11:30. It should be interesting. I think I'm going to die.

Farewell we call to hearth and hall! Though wind may blow and rain may fall, We must away, ere break of day Far over wood and mountain tall.

Just checked out your photos, can't believe you went up that tower at St Helen's! I have serious claustrophobia, what an accomplishment. Loved the pix of the victorian tomb and the roman wall, especially (they're all good)Just looks like such a neat place to be. Am also surprised at all the blue sky, always thought of it as cloudy. Are you writing anything in particular for your creative writing?

Not anything in particular. I've got a poem about the sister of Alexander the Great I'm going to show the prof. Apparently, when he died, she threw herself into the sea and was turned into a mermaid. I spend too much time on Wikipedia, it would seem.
It doesn't rain as much in East Anglia as it does in other parts of the country. Which is fine by me. I like cloudy days just fine, but I like some sun, too!
Lauren, not to rub it in, but I would just like to comment on the fact that I have no homework nor have I really had any the entire semester and I'm skipping my useless lectures on Friday and Monday to visit a tropical island...What a cruel and unfair world it is.
Love,
Monika
Yeah, well, you just suck, don't you? Actually, I wanted to tell you that there was a spot in my Chaucer paper where I was talking about Nero, and the way I wrote reminded me of something you would write. It was weird.
