Reading Moliere

Tartuffe was awesome. I'm really happy we had the chance to read it in class. Finally, something a little light hearted! (...as opposed to dark :P )

 So I guess it's all in preparation for France. We leave Thursday, so I should probably start packing or doing some laundry...
Can I just say one thing? OMG
:D

There are three things I want to see while I'm in Paris: The catacombs, the cinemateque, and Oscar Wilde's grave. Hopefully there won't be any shopping involved.

OH, I also get to see the chair that Moliere died in!!! And sit in the Twin Windmills where Amelie was filmed.

I'm tossing around the idea of doing some reading too (gasp). I've never read anything by Emile Zola, so maybe it's time to start. Hmm...if anyone has suggestions, let me know!

Right now I am continuing my odyssey into children's literature. I've read Tales from Moominvalley, and I've just started King Matt. It's funny, children's literature is so broad that sometimes I think I am actually reading a book for adults. Most of the characters represent really adult themes, especially in Tales.

Sorry I'm so scatterbrained today. I'm just really excited for everything that's coming and I haven't thought about lit (I'm sorry to say) as much as I should have. So many things have happened in the course of the week. I was waitlisted from two liberal arts colleges. To be fair, they only accept something like 500 girls (if we're only counting girls haha). Some major prom drama has gone down, partially my fault, and partially a lot of other people's faults. And, oh yeah, I came to some realization about something that was right in front of my face (those of you who know me probably know about this). I'm kind of unsure, but then again, it's senior year and I want to have fun! Maybe by the end of the year I will be able to drive stickshift.

So long for now, I'll give an update when I'm back from FRANCE :D
