Well it's actually happening. I've been watching 12th Night and I'm
actually understanding what's going on. It's a miracle! Actually it's a lovely
production. A quite old (1979) BBC production with Felicity Kendall. But it's
classic Shakespeare and by chance I hired the book of the exact same production
which is great to use as a guide. I can hardly wait until tomorrow night so I
can finish it and then read some of the notes included with the book I
borrowed. Then I will watch it again without following the script. It's great
to finally understand some of this stuff.
About my essay. From previous posts you'll know I've been on a literary
conquest. Well what I haven't explained is why. I hope to study in 09 and in
order to do that I have to first of all read things other than Cleo and the TV
guide and secondly I have to remember (actually just learn in general) how to
study. I haven't even tried to write an essay in five years and they were
childish at best when I did. However I do have one person who can help me and
that is my Mum. She is big on literature, essays and study so thankfully I have
until the end of the year to learn how to write a decent essay, practice some
study techniques and get myself back in to thinking academically.
I've been writing an essay on Russia because I never studied Modern
History at school and am finding it fascinating but sad. So many wars, so many
people lost. Well that is enough for tonight. After my Russian essay and
Shakespeare I want to just read a little Tolstoy and then go to sleep. Night
all.
