The reading for Medieval Lit & Gender for next week is selected pieces from The Golden Legend. I am slightly taken aback by its total awesomeness.
I'm 90% sure I'm going to sign up to take the intensive Latin course during summer quarter. An entire year's worth of a difficult inflected dead language in ten weeks, WOOT. I'll probably complain about it frequently, but I'm really looking forward to it; there's nothing I love more than studying languages, really, when you come down to it. Plus, it will bring my "awesome old Indo-European languages" obsession up to three, between Old English this year, Latin in the summer, and Old Church Slavonic in the fall. YAY. (Next I just need to go to a grad school where I can learn ancient Greek and Hittite and Gothic and Sanskrit and Old Persian, right? RIGHT.)
[Note: I still really, really covet this shirt. Or at least the mug.]
Last night when I drifting off to sleep, I suddenly realized: EIGHT MONTHS FROM NOW I WILL BE LIVING IN BOSTON. Omigod. And really, eight months is a while, but it's not that long of a time. I do a little dance in anticipation and nerves in advance. BOSTON!
I thought I had something fandom-related to add to this entry, but I seem to be mistaken. My download of last night's Supernatural is going annoyingly slow, but I do have that to look forward to this evening. MMMMM DEAN.
