And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."

192625 I also made a 98 on the Hamlet test, but am unsure how I made out on the essay portion (like I said before, those essays are my weak spot). I don't have to take the m.o.a.t., but I was hovering at a 91 in the class last I checked, so if that essay brought my grade down to a B for any reason, I was going to take it in hopes of bringing my grade back up. She hasn't contacted me, so I think I'm in the clear.

As far as Spanish next semester, I'm taking the MW 9:20, which I'm sort of dreading because the lab is at 8:30 in the morning on alternating days. Ugh. I'm curious about the Psychology in Literature class you're taking, but I can't find it anywhere in the catalog or online. Where'd you come across it?

By the way, I was thinking of starting Middlesex for my first summer read and was wondering what you think of it so far?

192625 How'd you do on the Hamlet test? Do you have to take the M.O.A.T.?

192625 I'm registered for that Creative Writing online class, Non-Western Lit., Spanish, and then Government of Texas (I'm still getting the basics out of the way as well). I didn't even know that AC offered Psychology in Literature. I might be willing to drop one of my other classes and take that one instead...it sounds super-interesting!

Right now I'm hovering at an 89 in Blythe's class, and am depending on the research paper and Hamlet to bring the grade up to an "A". If not, then I'll take the final to see if I can bring the grade up (I'm not looking forward to that). These in-class essays are really throwing my grade off (I hate writing under pressure), so I'm a bit unsure about how this next essay will go. Good luck tomorrow!

192625 I think I overshot the amount of studying I needed to do for that test, but I hate to speak too soon before I take the essay portion. How do you think you did?

I didn't enroll in any summer classes this year. I plan on majoring in English, of all things, next fall and have already registered for what will hopefully be some interesting literature/writing classes for that semester. Have you signed up for summer/fall classes yet?

P.S. I never got a chance to congratulate you on winning the writing competition. Way to go!
(And also good luck on this last round of tests at school...we're almost there!)
