Finalsssssss.......

[readingredhead]

I feel like I am simultaneously under- and over-prepared for basically every one of my finals. I am in a classroom in Wheeler and for no apparent reason decided to hook up my laptop to the AV system. Well. Mostly so I could use the speakers to listen to Pride and Prejudice music. I turned in my kickass Milton paper that makes my life complete, I have my hardest final tomorrow followed by my family coming up for my birthday on Sunday and then two much less difficult finals on Tuesday. I have been reading literary criticism of Milton for fun (and it is fun). I really want to go to Cheese Board on Saturday (oh shit that's tomorrow) because I will miss it dreadfully when I am gone and the pizza looks great.

Really, I want to run outside and cartwheel through the grass in the sun and not worry about anything -- and quote Milton at people for shits and giggles, and maybe some Romantic poets too, since they're all stuck in my head at the moment. And beyond that, I just want to sit for a full day and do nothing but read Turn Coat (the new Jim Butcher book, which my mother bought me for my b-day) and Good Omens (because I have yet to read it, and this is unacceptable) and this Irish play that one of my friends gave me and that I need to get back to him by Tuesday.

Summer will be easily as crazy as school, but in different ways -- and although I'll miss Berkeley like no other, it won't be terrible to be home. At least, for the first two weeks.

Right now I might just need to do something crazy.

:( I'm scared about the Milton final! I don't think it's going to be hard per se, but I don't know how I'm going to properly absorb this humongous MASS of notes I have :( I've never had so many notes for a class before.

Happy early birthday!!! I have a birthday during finals too (in December), and it always sucks to have to postpone the celebration :( I hope you find the time to have fun and relax.

That's the key-- for the first two weeks, being home isn't too bad. That's why I'm making alternative plans this summer. Not as much time, next to no time in Eugene, hopefully time away from the electronic umbilical cord.

Yeah, I'm not even worrying about Milton until this afternoon or evening. I have a final for which I have just as many notes at 12:30. And this final has been designed to take the full three hours... *dies of handcramp*

And thanks for the birthday wishes! I promise, relaxing will be done. :)

Good Omens, good choice! And when are you home?

[readingredhead.livejournal.com]

Wednesday afternoon! Are you up for anything this weekend?

Also: I cannot go to the Jane Austen ball because apparently my sister is holding her b-day party that night. She was about as sad as I am, but very happy to learn that crazy people at UCLA do that sort of thing. L)

I like this weekend! I don't officially have plans to speak of, so keep me posted on your ideas!

Aw... But I'm glad to hear that last part, then. :)

Yay! A Stephanie! :P I don't know if I have plans to speak of either, so we shall keep each other posted!

Hey Candace, so I'm really really sorry to be asking this and I don't mean to be a bother but I just have one, super teensy tiny question about Milton. I promise, it's basically a yes-or-no question!

Do corpus christi and corpus mysticum basically mean the same thing? My notes are a little... jumbly from that day :)

[readingredhead.livejournal.com]

Hm. You know, I'm not entirely sure. Thankfully, it no longer matters! :) Although I'm pretty sure that they're very closely related. Corpus mysticum has more to do with the king's two bodies and Corpus Christi has more to do with communion and the body of the church. I think.
