Leicester: Day 46

I <3 Mondays @ Zanzibar!

My presentation in class yesterday went very well. It was a five minute oral on the poem 'In An Artist's Studio', and the teacher really liked how I pointed out Rossetti's ability to write expressively about the situations of others, especially those of her family members. I also drew comparisons to Blake and Tennyson, which got me huge bonus points. My speech was a little rushed and shaky, but being in a room full of third year English English students does that to me, they are all incredibly smart.

I met with my English professor yesterday and my Ancient History professor today about my essay topics, getting final approval, ideas for secondary sources, etc. I'll be diving into those tomorrow.

Hey, Congrats on your oral presentation! I'd like to tell you it gets easier every time but it never has for me:-)

I would dearly love to visit Zanzibar with you ! We could take Grandma too!
