Well, there we are, kids.

Okay, apparently the answer is to talk to my parents on the phone for an hour and a half about my project.

Actually, I knew that. I do it for nearly every term paper. (Man, what am I going to do when I'm in Oxford* and it's a long distance call? Hee.)
* The little bloody Rhodes Scholar optimist that I am.


(This is the part I'm really psyched about. All three points are valid, but I think it's the last one that really makes it. I hope Kangas lets me do this.)


(Marlowe as spy? Can I talk about this? Because it would make my day. For serious. )
- Kit worked for Walsingham (or W. was his patron? There was that kind of relationship going on though)
oAnd honestly, what does one DO for W. but spy?
- Also, Kit-as-Spy would work nicely into the power-play point and the knowledge point
oPower-play: around that constantly, not just in the general society but also in his work
oKnowledge: what is spying but the collecting and reporting and dissemination of such?
- Also, it would be effing cool. I mean, really.



Also, working in the Writing Center after hours is rather nifty. They have cool computers and other staff people are in here being late-night geeks (Madeline, writing for the newspaper) or shirking studying (Jacob) with me. Which is cool. And it's nice to get out of my room, yay. Mmmkay. Back to outlining about the Gay Atheist Spy and how cool he is Marlowe's Faustus in Historical Context. Yes. That.

IM your parents, that's what. When you're in Angle-land.

Haha, I can just imagine my mother trying to use AIM...
"What? It's making noises! What is it doing? Wait, I hit enter and it SENT...DAVID!"

I love my mother, I do, but she's fairly computer inept. :D (My dad could manage though.)


Of course in Angleland you're going to be there on Rhodes TOO so we can talk over papers together. Yes. (Cue the optimist again.)

[countcomfect.livejournal.com]

Oh. Of course, says the optimist.

Hee. But I'm sure your mom would figure out how to run AIM if it was her only way of talking to you. ;)

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Of course. And Melissa. And we can go boating. Like that one book...argh, Connie Willis, can't remember the title, but you should read it cause it's fabulous. To Say Nothing of the Dog. That's it.

Oh, probably...but it would still be funny. :)

I would, indeed, pay to watch your mother while she figured out AIM. But she would figure it out.

PUNTING!

Gah, I wanna Rhodes scholarship. Not at the rate my GPA is going (imagine a graph that defines the phrase "down because of Tutorial". Yeah.)

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Punting...is good. I am crap at it though, I'm just warning you.

Gah, me too...I'm afraid my grades just won't stand up, man...can one be an optimist and a pessimist at the same time?

[marbletrickwire.livejournal.com]

guess what?!?! I got reccommended to be a writing center tutor at LC... we can be twins. after i actually get around to applying, that is. haha.

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! I hope your class isn't as annoying as mine is...the people are all very cool, though, so it should be fun. Let me know how that goes.

(Also I talked to Quig last night and he said he was seeing your show, and just in case he forgets I sent you A LOT OF LOVE and breaking legs and all that good stuff.)
