This is medieval history, children.

"Robin Hood is about administrative kingship and delegated authority. Bet you didn't know that." - Dr. E

Dr E: So how did they decide to split up the inheritance? How did the parage system work?
Erin: Dance-off.


...the thesis cohort meets tomorrow to find out what nefarious plans Dr E has for us, outside the brain-crushing syllabus already assigned. Erin is convinced we'll have a whole different final paper, & I wouldn't be suprised, because as far as I understand it this class' paper is the beginning of our thesis. Oh goody...

Callbacks were today as well. Holy cow. I had forgotten how crazily intense theater can get-& this was just callbacks. Andy & I read a very short scene--Solyony expressing his love for Irina--& we spent a bunch of time outside reading though it, getting into discussions about Solyony's character & where the hell this declaration of love comes from, & figuring out Irina's reactions, since she doesn't say much--& by the end of the actual few read-throughs in front of Ki, I was literally shaking. I really want to do this play. Really.

Also, I hate dentist appointments. I have just eaten a chocolate chip cookie in revenge. That is all.
