I am also really, emphatically not ready for my next exam. Nor the one after that, come to think of it, but the one after that's Chemistry, and I'm not expecting much better than a C on that in the best of circumstances. But this one? Thought I was ready for it. Remembered that I don't actually know which one was Surrey and which one was Sidney. I can name you Donne and Shakespeare and Herbert and Marvell, but after that I get confused.

Oh, and I never did read The Country Wife. Suppose I should do that. The hell I'm finishing all the bits of Paradise Lost I skipped in one night.

Of course, this all means I ultimately have that much less time to study for chemistry.

I wish I could write something. I've reached that weird place where my distracted, aimless desire to write is enough to distract me from productive studying but not enough to actually get anything written. Not even the ficcish equivalent of fluffernutter. It's not a happy place and I don't want to be in it anymore. *pout*

Anyway, am doing laundry and checking LJ as a bit of a break, and, yeah, basically a pointless post, I suppose. Waiting for my laundry to be done.

Surrey is the one who wrote "Prisoned in Windsor" and Sidney wrote "Astrophel and Stella," right? I get them confused too-- both writers of the English sonnet. I agree, the Metaphysicals are more interesting. :D

Saw a play on Sunday in this period; "The School of Night" about the murder of Christopher Marlowe. Too much information crammed into a little play. The interpretation would have worked quite well, however, as a miniseries like "The Devil's Whore."

Yes! Yes, that's who they were. And I managed to remember who Sidney was all through the exam! Unfortunately, it turned out not to be relevant. At all. :(

I'd watch that miniseries. :D Yeah, there's just so much going on with Marlowe, and so many unknowns surrounding his death, that trying to fit it all into one single installment seems unrealistic to me. Still seems like a nifty play, though.

Distracted, aimless desire to write, eh? Sounds familiar. I've been there for a while now. Wish life would settle down enough for something to sprout. Good luck with the exams.

Thanks! I've got one left, coming up tomorrow, so I'll need all the good wishes I can get. Thank you, and good luck to you too!
