New beginnings

I have been talking to the professors about my dream of going overseas to get my PHD. I convince myself daily that there will be some way to get over there to do what I want with the Old English Literature and to translate/rewrite many of the works that I think others would appreciate if given a chance. The children today are not given the training in classics enough and the literature will begin to be forgotten except by dusty ibrarians - that shouldn't be true. Everyone should know what Lais are, who beowulf was or wasn't, who wrote Morte d' Arthur, or what Hamlet meant when he said, "Get thee to a nunnery!"

Which reminds me of the Italy trip in Spring break - I think I need to save my money so I *can* go overseas!
