The work I got over break isn't bad but I've been putting it off because of being so so sick. Fevers make it hard to concentrate on words. Now that the days are closing in, however, I don't really have time for that especially since pneumonia won't be likely to go away before I leave.
Homework done so far:
*For Absurdist British Theater: Read The Homecoming and The Birthday Party by Harold Pinter I got that done before I got sick actually. They are really dark and meaningful plays.
*For Creative Writing: started drafting a proposal for my fiction project and I've started on the books I was recommended by my tutor for ideas and inspiration. I'm most of the way through The Lemon Table by Julian Barnes, and it's rather depressing. It's all about old people...and being old. I just started Dubliners though and it's really great! I'm enjoying it! Here's a picture of James Joyce, the author. He's looks like someone who might write awesome stories about Dublin, right?
Work I have yet to do:
For Absurdist British Theater: write a paper about those plays!
For Creative Writing: finish project proposal, and familiarize myself with the aforementioned books as well as Alice Munro's The Love of a Good Woman.
Oh yeaaaah, and clean my room and do laundry so I can pack...and get well...
Yikes!
Here's something that cheered me up today though:
Not pneumonia! I have a very similar something, but I'm determined it won't become that. Cross your fingers for me! I hope you feel better before you have to leave!!!
