Please note: If you have not read Sense and Sensibility, but plan to do so sometime in your life, then you may wish to neglect this blog post.
A pleasant, stress-free day was planned with only one item on my to-do list: to finish Sense and Sensibility. Little did I know that the last few chapters would bring such deep disappointment and frustration into my life! The novel was finished with a scowl deeply ingrained on my face. Elinor was supposed to marry Colonel Brandon! How could Jane Austen create such an irrational and undesired ending as Elinor marrying Edward and Marianne marrying Colonel Brandon? I mean... really! What was she thinking? It's a good thing, I suppose, that I have an appointment with a massage therapist this afternoon!

Oh, Caryn, I love you! I love how you get so deeply involved in the lives of fictional characters and talk about them as if they are real! I think that it is great!
How is life now that finals are OVER!!?
So, did you cry...
or just fume?
Life is great now that finals are over! I was FINALLY able to finish this book! (I started it right before the semester started- that's sad).
No tears...just scowling. So...let's watch the movie! :)
completely unrelated - yeah, sad about Gus Gus, but London really is nice...I've walked ALL over town, but haven't gone in anywhere...which museums would you suggest first? Nearly all of it is easy walking distance from where I am...
We will be in Abilene from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday or Thursday, maybe?? Give me a call and maybe we can have some girl time in there!!
