Kalamazoo and Other Happenings

SO, after a hiatus I return. In this time I have been driving myself crazy with classes and Latin and paper writing and paper giving and whatnotall.

I had the good fortune of giving a paper at the International Congress of Medieval Studies, which I know I've mentioned, but I am still pleased to know that I have actually done it. It went quite well, actually, I think. Amazingly, nearly 20 people showed up to our session at 8.30 Sunday morning. It was a dreadful time to have to give a talk at, but it still went over quite well.

I am now trying to sort out how to get one more half-credit of linguistics so that I can graduate. I may end up needing to do so in September, but that will be fine.

In happier news, I have begun reading Planet Narnia, by Michael Ward. In the first few pages, I am on the whole quite impressed and look forward to reading further. We need more scholars discussing the medievalism of C. S. Lewis. I strongly suspect that his Narnian Chronicles are not anywhere near so inconsistent nor haphazard as they have been accused of being. I shall try to remember to write up a review of the book when I finish it.
