So, my eyes have been opened in light of reading Shakespeare's sonnets in this past week. You can interpret them all to be explicitly referring to sex, of course in the seminar, learning that words like 'All', 'Will', 'Thing' and 'nothing' refer to sexual organs led to a bit of an immature giggle for the majority of the class, myself included. But upon rereading some of the sonnets, I concluded they made a lot more sense than before we had been Informed of this.
As a side note, I managed to take the wrong book to the seminar, I took 'The Writer's Tale' instead of the actual Shakespeare text, what a fail on my part! And further proof that Doctor Who is invading my already obsessed mind. That and I was distracted by issues which are affecting my MH and which I cannot go into. Needless to say, I am under a bit of stress that I really do not need right now. BUT hopefully this will make it all easier.
Monday afternoon was spent catching up with Rhi, whom I lived with the last academic year that I was at uni. Of course, it was like the old court 15 apt 5 kitchen times, without the kitchen as we sauntered to my room, which everyone has said, looks exactly the same. And it was so nice to have a catch up. This sort of thing always reminds me that I need to try and keep in contact with a lot of people as I am well known for forgetting people. For which I can only apologise.
Spent Monday night in the kitchen with the majority of the flatmates, in which we discussed the mystery of the girl whom had been in and out of room 1 and if she was our new flat mate, at the time of writing this, no more has been seen of her. Apart from that we played Disney scene it, which was wonderful. We were supposed to be playing catchphrase at some point.... but we got distracted. THEN by the time we did play it on Tuesday night, and we where not impressed by it/got bored in 5 mins flat so went back to Scene it!
I am also FINALLY into series 3 of DR Who, I nearly had a party in celebration! Although, I don't seem to have got very far with watching it recently, I've not really been in the mood to watch it this week.
In between the dissertation work I have managed to read the play for Science fiction and Gulliver's Travels parts 1 and 4. Gulliver's Travels I found to be a challenge I really struggled to take any of it in, however the seminar on it helped me understand it.
Next week I must read- The Beggar's Opera- which I apparently forgot to buy... HOW DID I DO THAT???? Richard III, I'm actually on act 5 and I am really struggling with it, taken me 4 hours to get this far and just cannot engage with it all. And The Man in the High Castle.
And go to a dissertation meeting, which means I should probably engage in research for this a little bit more! Just watching the DVD's isn't all that helpful.
Oh and yes, I am twisting everything into something DR Who related, I've just accepted this is what is going to happen this year. And I apologise yet again to one and all who this annoys.
