Busy, Busy, Busy

Sorry my blogs have not been the most exciting lately. Like most (if not all) college students, I have been extremely busy with the demands of classes. As an English major taking two English classes this semester, I have a TON of reading and writing. This weekend, I spent a good amount of time (2 hours tonight, and an hour yesterday) doing research in the library. For Brit Lit, I have to write a paper comparing and summarizing three critical articles about a piece of work we have read or are going to read (I'm doing Ben Jonson's poem "To Penshurst", which is the estate of another great Renaissance poet I have read, Sir Philip Sidney). I also have to do an annotated bibliography for my lit studies research paper. So far, I have found four out of at least eight sources I need, which is pretty good. Research can be tiring, but now that I know how and where to find sources, it's not too bad.

Despite it being February, the weather has been sunny. Yesterday four of my friends and I went downtown to the Waterfront (grassy area looking over the river not far from Pioneer Square) and had a picnic. Yesterday was quite windy, so we had hoped to fly a kite, but were unable find one. Today I had my choir concert, and we had a good turnout as this weekend was Junior Parent's Weekend. It was fun, but I was pretty exhausted as I had a lot to do. At least we have a week and a half until Spring Break!!
