My French Revolution class involves annotating a classic, very erudite account of the Revolution from the 19th century. I don't even know enough about the Revolution to know what to annotate. I picked up a sort-of pop history account of the Terror (my assigned section) just to get a grip on events without wading through a sea of academese. Academic works are also too specific at times - scholars like to tackle certain angles and certain conflict rather than give a straight account of things. Which is really useful for delving deep into a subject, not so good when you're trying to just a grip on things.
I need to reapply for my reader privileges at the Folger. I have the letters of recommendation set to go, now I just need to write my letter explaining why I need access to its most august collection. Ah, private libraries and your restrictions.
My paperwork to take comps in one month is turned in. That's not a whole lot of time. At least the exams are in October, not December, so the stress is spread out. I just need my questions geared toward witchcraft. I am awesome at witchcraft. Just nothing on the Inquisition or the English Reformation, please.
Hang on to your hats. This will be quite a semester.
...I think I need a margarita. Anyone game?
