Looking forward when I should be staring at a screen. A computer screen. And writing scholarly things.

Creating a website for a final project in History of the Book to demonstrate hyperlink medium and its influence on the processes of the mind and the writing process. I’m thinking of hyperlinking poetry with associative texts, images, sounds, video etc.

Also–- pretty excited about courses next semester.
Black Feminism I (part 1 of a 2 semester course tought by the fierce and, let’s face it, slightly terrifying Dr. Hill. Becky, Berkeley, Claire, Kaitlyn and I think Kelly are all registered too, so, basically a feminist force of goodness)
Forms of Literature: The Novel debated for a long time between this and Forms: Short Story. Ultimately decided on the Novel course because, looking at both of the sylibi, the Novel class covers more new material, whereas I’ve read and studied most of the short stories on the agenda. Also Dr. Robertson is one of my favorite humans ever, and is just too wonderful not to take one more class with before I graduate.
Grammar: Alas, I missed the reign of the infamous Dr. Harden, but rumor is that one of the new writing professors, either Catherine or Silas will be stepping up, so I’m intrigued.
Women’s Studies:hopefully this will fall post-internship. I’m extremely proud of Liz, too (as are Becky, Berk, and the entirety of WomenSpeak, I’m sure) for signing up for this class as well. We’ll make a feminist of you yet.
Senior Writing Portfolio: = applying to graduate schools=anxiety attack
Independent Writing: Probs with G. Fincke, maybe with Glen?
I have mostly feminist ideals, I think, I’m just not as…militant? I don’t want to say angry. Also, I don’t like labels. Remember, “Kenny and I aren’t dating”? and then “We’re dating, but he’s not my boyfriend”? Yeah…
