e_clareYay! Preliminary thesis angst was all in vain. I'm good to go now: ENG 395: Stoppard Independent Study w/ MJSalter.
*dances*
Also, I totally told David Sedaris about my thesis. *dies*
I can't write coherently about Mr. Sedaris. It was a long, amusing evening. Chapin was totally packed, which rocks for sponsors WFCR (yeah, public radio!). I stood in line for about 45 minutes to get my copy of Me Talk Pretty One Day signed, trying to come up with something witty or interesting to say.
I didn't just bust out "OMG, TOM STOPPARD!!!1" -- he asked. No, really, I swear. My side of the conversation: Yes, I'm a student here; junior; English major; no, not so much with the writing; well, papers, yes -- but not about Emily Dickinson, since I'm actually really into Tom Stoppard right now, and probably doing a thesis; 75-100 pages, yeah, it does kind of suck - thanks! Have a great night!
(My brilliant opener was, "Hi! How are you holding up," since he looked totally exhausted and wanting to get out of there. "I just really need a cigarette," he replied. "You?")
