Deleted post?

I accidently deleted my last post. I hit the 'Enter' button whilst moving my mouse pad as the message clearly said "Are you sure you would like to delete this post? This option can not be undone".

Anyway, regardless... I have managed to finish Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. I always feel accomplished after reading scholarly material (y'know for school and what-not).

There's a lot to deduce (is that even a word?) from Northanger Abbey, which is why I actually appreciate it.

Basically a tomboy-grown-attractive chick becomes associated with higher class standards/rituals when she visits a city called Bath with her family friends. She has a hard time seperating fiction and reality, as a result of being heavily engrossed in literature (specifically horror/thriller fiction).

Then some stuff happens. And then other stuff happens as a result of the aforementioned stuff that initally happened.

Yeah, I'm not too keen on specifics but that's how a majority of it went. The book is actually looked upon as one of Jane Austen's more accomplished works (along with Persuasion), as Austen herself is highly regarded as a feminist icon.

I swear, most of the books I've read for this class (Introduction to Literary Genres) have dealt particulary with patterns of pro-feminism and gender construction.

Anyway, I have to get through Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre this weekend, whilst snowboarding tomorrow (YAY!).

I need to (at least) take a stab on my essay on poetry. I have to write a 1000 word paper, analyzing Miriam Waddington's Ten Years and More. The phonetics, stress patterns, stanza formation, use of literary devices etc. etc.

Why didn't I do this in November?

Ugh. Plus I gotta rent The Shawshank Redemption (1994) and do a critical film analysis on it.

...Thanks York.

Wish me luck.
