I've Been Waiting

Glooory! Hallelujah!!

I attended my last night of torturous literature (besides the final) tonight. I have waited for this night ever since January 13th. I have only to write a drama paper and then an in-class essay during the final.

For the last two classes, we have been listening to Shakespeare’s Othello. What misery! In all of Shakespeare’s, I managed to find one little blurb that I found amusing. This (obviously) was spoken by a woman to another woman:

“’Tis not a year or two shows us a man. They are all but stomachs, and we all but food; They eat us hungerly, and when they are full, They belch us.”

Oh, the tragedy of it all! But the mental image was just too much; I spluttered irreverently in the midst of the ongoing tragedy.

I shall henceforth forever avoid Shakespeare, poetry, and Faulkner to the best of my ability.
