My presentation went well even though I was talking a mile a minute in order to get all my information in before 8:40. I didn't want to be the person who keeps everyone after class; people just want to go home by that point. Plus, I nearly electrocuted myself plugging in the dvd player to show a clip. My hand has mostly stopped tingling at this point.
How about a media update? I read J.M. Coetzee's Disgrace. I read Brian Friel's Translations and am watching a movie based on his play Philadelphia, Here I Come. I partially read Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians and Salaman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. I haven't had much time to watch anything else, all though I am catching the odd episode of Sex and the City before I go to bed. Amusing.
Right now, I wish I had time to reread all the Harry Potter books because everyone at the conference knew the minutest details about the stories that I couldn't remember (and I like to think I have a pretty sharp reading eye). Alas, probably not until Christmas or even next summer with how many books and movies I've said I'll deal with over Christmas break. I mean I haven't even seen Serenity yet--that's how busy I am.
