Back after Exams

All done! Exams are graded, committee meetings are over, and I have spent the day thinking about how I want to organise my time over the next couple of months while I teach the Shakespeare course. The end of term is very welcome. I plan to enjoy my week and a half off.

Since I last "blogged", I have read Rebecca West's autobiographical novels This Real Night (1984) and Cousin Rosamund (1987), and have just started a book of literary criticism on Joyce's Ulysses.

No real running exploits to report due to a lingering bout of bronchitis. It's almost gone, though not as gone as I'd like. As a result, I've put on weight again, and between that and stress-induced bad eating, I have a lot of ground to recover. So I'm back on the South Beach Phase One diet again. Salads here we come.

Current Reading: S.L. Goldberg's The Classical Temper: A Study of James Joyce's Ulysses (1961)
Current Music: Scott Joplin's "Elite Syncopations"
