Sorry I haven't written in awhile.  I've had a lot of false starts for blog entries, like a review of Easy A, a review of the Lady Gaga concert, a 22 list of places to travel, and an autumn cocktail recipe guide.  But alas, it's a little past 1am, I have a midterm in less that seven hours and it is now I'm inspired to write.

But since I'm trying to re-read 6 classic children's books before I pass out, I'll merely list a few topics I'd like to get into before I forget them in the morning:

--The concept of dystopia in children's literature.  I.e. The Giver.

--"The College Boy" essay that I've been thinking about lately. Basically the concept of being so educated that you're separated from the uneducated, to put it crudely.  It's a strange, honorable, but lonely place.

--The graffiti in the girls bathroom in the Lit Building and how we write notes of encouragement to each other on the walls.  In particular, I'd like to write back to a girl talking about a long-distance relationship.

--An open letter to Anthony B., and how I've been thinking about graduation and where we all ended up, and how I feel like I'm ready to be a college freshmen, not a college senior.

--a review on Coco Before Chanel.

Anyway, hopefully I'll get to all of it in the next few days.  Midterm tomorrow, article rough draft due Friday, Moby Dick essay due Tuesday.
