Weeks have passed

and I've had no time or desire to update blog. The work seems relentless now. In fiction we are reading student stories and critiquing them, in Shakespeare I just finished a sonnet explication -I did recite my sonnet in class-I will remember this sonnet forever! In literary criticism we are learning a new theory-Reader Response. Seems great after the bummer of the deconstruction theory where everything can go on forever-no meaning in the meaning-who can say the real meaning when language itself is so ambiguous? Huh, what? no real meaning? No one true meaning? Ok I get some of it, but it is way beyond me. And on that note I need to make some notes about RR. Application due Monday. Not looking forward to it.
