OCTOBER & OTHELLO
Oct. 4th, 2015 11:54 pmIt's four days into OCTOBER, the BEST MONTH of the YEAR, and I feel obligated to note that. Even though I'm four days late.
I'm trying to get used to this new atmosphere, my school, and slowly but surely I am. Studying, however, is so different and all I want to do is curl up under my blankets and never come out. I have a fluffy white blanket that is SO WARM I feel like i'm wrapped, or protected, or hugged by a cloud. A warm cloud, that is. My bed is lofted, so it adds to the effect. For the past two nights I've literally snuggled with a book. It stayed in my bed all night, and it was a little comforting, having those words so close to me instead of just my own words swarming inside my head. Last night it was Othello. I cannot WAIT to get into that, though if my record goes to show, I'll probably juggle it with The Iliad and Macbeth, if I have the time to read for myself. (I started to reread Macbeth the other night because I love Macbeth and because MacDuff was alluded to in Weiland and I cried when I realized - I get emotional over MacDuff). Not a good idea, to say the least, but I'm going with it! This weekend was an emotional roller coaster, and I'm tired. Tired of being thought of as "ridiculous" by my sisters, too, but what can you do?

Currently I am practicing scansion and it is kicking my ass.
That is all.
