Day 16

Friday there was a short class discussion and then the whole class went down to the library to watch the film version of Orlando. If I had known that I would've gone about patching up the glaring holes in my cover story a little bit differently. Luckily, P.J. tends to be a little forgetful. Maybe the whole thing will blow over.

Today we discussed the movie. I watched it this morning, just before coming to class. That meant that I had it fresh in mind and was able to comment ably, I thought. The discussion hit on some interesting points and I was happy to find that I am much more in-line with the English major mentality when it comes to films.1

We were also supposed to turn in our papers. As if to further push my luck, I didn't have mine. Oh, it was written alright, but I hadn't been able to print it. P.J. let me run to the lab and meet her at her office. She was rushing off, so we walked out of the building together and I strove to placate any lingering doubts as to my quality2 as a student. She was kind. If only I were sure she was putting my face with my name and my assignments.

NOTES:
1- But that probably just means that the English majors aren't very sophisticated in their film critiques.
2- and authenticity...
