British Word of the Day: surgery - an office containing a waiting room, nurses, receptionists, tinier exam rooms and doctors. (An American's "doctor's office"). eg: "Did you make my appointment for the surgery yet? My cold keeps getting worse."
If you couldn't tell already, the past...week is it? has been more than time-consuming. I've been reading Elizabeth Gaskell's North & South. I'm supposed to have read Wives & Daughters by tomorrow with a full essay in hand complete with critical sources to back it up. And here I am, blogging to you complaining about it. I'm not even going to crack open W & D.
Next week will probably be worse, since I have two essays due instead of just the one.
Awesome.
I must go. A lecture on Victorian fiction today @ 10.
Cheers!

Be encouraged; get done what you can. Sorry, no insights on either title---my Calvin education in Victorian Lit was entirely poetry and some essays (Carlisle, Arnold, Pater); grad work wasn't much better; and I did NOT read _Middlemarch, twice, for two separate classes(!)(sorry to be a bad example) . . . anything else I picked up on my own.

So did you have an actual appointment at the surgery? Is that just an example? ie; Did you go to the doctor for your cold? Hope you're feeling better and not too bogged down in your reading assignments! Wish I could help but I'm reading two books of my own! Beautiful Boy and the one derek assigned me. something about "extremely loud" I'm enjoying both. bye for now. love, Mom.
