My Shakespeare essay currently has 1300 words. I am amazed! Add inroduction and conclusion, and I'm only missing some two average-length paragraphs. I might even write those two today, if I feel like it. Lala.
Seriously. I thought this was the most difficult essay I've ever had to write, but once I got into it, it wasn't so bad. I've even been able to link my two major topics (the double revenge scheme and Titus's tragic flaw), which I thought would be problematic. Most fantastic. I think I've earned that Snickers now :p
On (a school related) side note:
I handed in my BA essay today and now I'm extremely nervous. When will we get the results? I'm quite happy with the essay itself, but I know there are probably about a bazillion things I could've done better and now I'm all wiggly about it. I wish I'd get a 4. Just how cool would that be?
It turns out that there is a possibility that the detective novel dad wrote over ten years ago is getting published in a year or so! If I understood correctly, it's now pretty much up to dad. He'd need to do some alterations with the help of a copy editor, and he's not sure if he wants to do that because it's really been over a decade since he wrote the original. I still wish he'd do it, fingers crossed now! It's been ages since he last published anyting.
I read the novel when it was first written but I was maybe twelve back then, so I don't think I was fulyl able to grasp it. I offered to read it again now, but we'll see if dad lets me. I'd also like to read his plays, I've never had a chance to do that and I hear they're brilliant.
Adding the fact that mum and her novel were in HS's Kuukausiliite last weekend, I could say I'm rather proud of both of my parents right now.
(And also a bit bitter since I can't write fiction.)
