halfway there...

I've just submitted my final project for the Gothic lit class. I had too much fun putting it together - I found a creepy castle background, and I used the Blackadder font for the titles. I hope I did enough to make it worth a decent grade.

I have a whole week off before my next class starts. It involves crochet and a big, juicy book for some frivolous reading - Little, Big by John Crowley. You can read some of it here.

I also won't have to double up on classes after all, nor have a gap between classes. The program advisor helped me re-work my schedule. I'm now starting my thesis in August, rather than October, and I can take the final core class after my thesis (creative nonfiction workshop!) It's backwards, but allowed. This second half of my degree is all creative writing through January of next year. I hope I'm up for it.

Before I get to Little, Big, I'm going to read some cheery Wodehouse after all this dark Gothic stuff.
