Finally

i have an idea for the essay that was due on thursday. my professor's only instructions had been to make a connection between something from a shakespeare play with a contemporary issue. the broadness of the assignment had immobilized me, i had no idea of even where to begin.

and what came to my rescue? the nanny job. dashiel's mom asked me to come over for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon to give everyone a break. when dashiel's dad came home, we talked about my absurd assignment, king lear, and the creator of wonder woman. and, in the words of the 400 blows, Eureka! I have it!

it will involve feminism, wonder woman (yes, oh yes), and the female characters from the four plays we have studied. i think i might be awesome.

(and thanks for noticing my mistake)
