My World Lit professor can recite the entire prologue of the Canterbury Tales in Middle English. And did part of it for us tonight in class.
PWHOAR. UNF. AND ALL MANNER OF OTHER NOISES. BE STILL MY HEART, PROFESSOR.
Also, I ran at the mouth about the Wife of Bath and played star pupil for the evening. I love me some Chaucer (even though he is, as discussed with Miss J last night, a motherfucker who got told). I was heavily amused by all the students who thought they could get by in a discussion about Beowulf (which we watched last week and were supposed to also read) by talking about things from the film that were not actually in the story. Like how everyone bangs Grendel's mother. NOT IN THE STORY.

'That's it, I think.' (*falls over*)
haha. Sounds good, I'd like to get together, at some point, definitely. Between the papers I'm freaking-the-fuck out writing (as is per usual, ever since CCC), I'll squeeze in a few moments' respite.
(Say. I'm supposed to be working on a paper now. har har.)
I'm not on AIM often, but if you are, I'll add you, and we'll plan something thataway, yeah?
