Thou Sing'st Sweet Music.

I feel like I could go all my life saying, "Be the popcorn," and all would be well.

I had no idea what to expect today. I knew we were blocking, and that was an exciting prospect to consider, but each morning is a surprise, and I appreciated today's more than I can convey. I very much enjoy history when it is described well, with enthusiasm, and in a way that involves those to which the information is being given (this basically means I have detested every history class I've ever been in--until today's discussion on Shakespeare). He's too interesting a figure to pass up.

Whenever I've had to dissect a passage before, it was always boring and tedious and impossible. Very little instruction was ever given, and I guess for some reason my teachers assumed we would understand how to do this. But today's explication was very helpful. I also liked the relation of iambic pantameter to the heartbeat!

Hoorah for a third of the play being blocked!

Harold Bloom is crazy.
