Almost a year since my last update

I love being an English major. I have thus far taken the Victorians, The Romantics, Jane Austen and Edith Wharton, and now I'm onto the History of the English Language and Shakespeare. I have become a big fan of Jane Austen and am 95% sure that I will be studying her work in even further depth this summer at Oxford University in England. Studying English Lit in England, what could be better? I am turning into quite a lit geek and I love it. I have bought several classic lit novels that I still have yet to read but are at the top of my list: Waverly by Walter Scott (Scottish), Little Women by Lousia May Alcott (American), A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (English, and whom I already love) and some others I think, that I can't remember at the moment.

I've gotten better at writing papers and am happy to finally have gotten a steadier footing in studying literature. I think my creative writing is also improving, now that I feel free from the trappings of the 'literary' style. I think I've got some good stuff coming out. :) Also, am getting into the Beats at the moment; am kind of obsessed with the 60's counterculture at the moment. Am reading The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac and it's pretty much awesome so far. I will try and make a more detailed post about it, later. Right now, it's back to my Editing paper.
