Title thanks to Tori Amos (‘Carbon’), one of my favorite singers.<\/p>\n

So it’s Saturday, the long weekend more than half over — and after doing virtually nothing yesterday (except some shopping, playing online and trying to find an alternative to the non-existant MakeDocDD for Mac OSX for my palm), I’ve been a bit more prolific today so far.<\/p>\n

Mainly I read Oscar Wilde’s Salomé<\/a> in the French original — thanks to the wonders of the net without having to pay a cent. Why I did that? Because while on the phone with my friend Sandra (who’s now in Turkey, the lucky girl!) yesterday I decided more or less randomly that if I write a paper for the Salome seminary in German Lit this semester it’s going to be about Wilde’s play. Simply because I adore Wilde and the other authors we’re covering aren’t half as interesting.<\/p>\n

I really don’t want to write a paper at all — I have enough to do with preparing my field trip exercise to NZ in July, without fighting my way through a dull paper for a difficult teacher in a subject I could very well live without. But I want to finish my lic (equivalent to MA) in ten semesters, and that means at least one, if not two, papers a semester, in order to have time to write my Master thesis and prepare for the final exams. I don’t know if I’ll make it — most people take about 12 semesters, if not longer — but I want to try. And that means Salome.<\/p>\n

My goal is to have at least a foggy idea what to write about next Wednesday, when the next class is. Wish me luck, I have no clue what acceptable subjects might be for the teacher…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
