We have finished our second week of classes and a number of novels and plays as well. Thus far, Richard III, Midsummer Night's Dream, Troilus and Criseyde, and The French Lieutenant's Woman have graced our classroom and filled hours of reading. Trips to town, nightime talks on the ferry dock, and the consuming of cheese have filled my hours here in Keswick. It is delightful and peaceful here, and I won't be quite ready to leave on Monday, although the prospect of Ireland is a bit exciting. Dr. Reinsma continues to provide daily wisdom in each class and conversation, and as we wade through literature, toy with existentialism, and compare the vastly different nature of our various readings we are learning loads. Cheers!
"They sensed that current accounts of the world were inadequate; that they had allowed their windows on reality to become smeared by convention, religion, social stagnation; they knew, in short, that they had things to discover, and that the discovery was of the utmost importance to the future of man."
-John Fowles - The French Lieutenant's Woman
Hi Gia! I love reading about your experiences! So, what about the volcano in Iceland! Are you seeing any ash coming down or any other effects?
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! :) love you, jen and family
Remember when we went and saw A Midsummer Night's Dream in Ashland? The best ever....but not sure it can compare to your current adventures! Love you.
