exuberance

I've been so terribly happy that I just wanted to take a moment to record this. I know I have a lot on my plate for the next few weeks and am probably in denial of the little time I have left until the semester is over, but what do you do when you are overwhelmed with utter joy? I can't seem to contain it, that's for sure. My roommates have been in bed hours ago. The night is still. And what can I do but grin and read until my eyes shut -- or just finish my cran/orange vodka mix and read.

In other news, my prof wound up liking the Sex and the City idea #2 for my paper, so the Angela Carter project will have to wait for another opportunity. It's a shame in other ways, if only b/c i've already done some preliminary research, ordered books, and have even gotten excited over the 1812 edition of Grimm's Snow White (which did not have a stepmother but an envious mother!). So I was quite psyched over the little discoveries I've made thus far, but now am even more thrilled, I gather, that I can look at Sex and the City as a cultural phenomenon. I confess I'm really not familiar with the show as i have never had cable growing up in my household; in fact, I've always felt somewhat odd as I was the only one of my friends who didn't get to watch VH1! So there you go. the late bloomer. But this project will give me the opportunity to sit, watch tv, and take copious notes on all things such as lesbian visibility! Whoo!
