e_clareOh dear. We all know how simple this Tom Stoppard paper is supposed to be: choose a passage from Hamlet, discuss how Stoppard uses it in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Easy-peasy.
Of course, nothing is ever that simple. So I've spent the better part of the afternoon rereading bits of each play, struggling to narrow my focus to a manageable chunk of Shakespeare. There's fodder for a bloody thesis paper in this question; I only need five pages. Trying not to think about how they have to be five Really Good pages, unlike the four pages of film paper I ended up with yesterday.
I know it'll happen. I know I can do this. I just know, too, that I'm booked tonight from 6:30 onwards (because yes, I do need to go to Drag Ball), and that tomorrow I won't be good for much until after lunch.
*catches breath and sanity*
Woe is I. The life of an English major is a difficult one, indeed.
