The desk carnage after my phone meeting with my comps supervisor.
Well, I did it. I took my comprehensive exams yesterday.
Now I just have to wait to hear if I passed or not.
Finally got out of the apartment to do some work at a coffee shop! It was really productive until my only black pen died, so I switched to reading instead.
Reading: Anonymous - The True Tragedie of Richard the Third; George Peele - Edward the First; William Shakespeare - 2 Henry VI

Hey, early modern grad students/enthusiasts: anyone happen to know of a solid summary of Philip Sidney's New Arcadia? I'm reading it for comps but I want to make sure that I'm actually following the plot (and Google has been decidedly unhelpful on the summary front).
If you know one, please throw it in the comments/reblog with the link - I'd really appreciate it!
Today in things I wasn't expecting to find in my comps reading
(from What You Will: Gender, Contract, and Shakespearean Social Space by Kathryn Schwarz)
It took me an unnecessarily long time to take notes on Edward the First, so no real updates. Here’s a picture of my cat trying to keep me from reading the Henry VI plays instead.
Tentatively set an exams date for the week after Thanksgiving and it feels really good to have a solid date I'm working toward tbh.
