And I got a really good deal on it too. 
In other news, I’ve felt like killing Charles Dickens lately. Too bad he’s already dead. Yes, folks. I’ve finished Bleak House. All 990 pages of it. GAH. I read it in 3 days, because I got a surprise paper sprung on me. Well, it wasn’t really a surprise, but the teacher gave us absolutely no guidance on what the paper was supposed to be until Monday. So I couldn’t do any prep work on it. In any case, I get to write it tonight. It’ll be on the influence of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight on The Lord of the Rings. 5-7 pages, no research necessarily necessary. We shall see how it goes.
I hate being so busy that I don’t have time to comment and post. It SUX. BIG TIME. Must figure out a way to give myself more free time. Must.
