A Philosophical Homicidal Maniac

This weekend has been mostly devoted to Shakespeare. I've been rereading all of the introductions to our plays (and Venus and Adonis). I have been going over all of my notes several times. I made note cards of all of the important terms/people/dates/etc. from class hoping to do better on this exam tomorrow than on the last.

Average grade of the class on Exam #1:
C-

My grade on Exam #1:
F

You know the sad thing, I studied for 23 hours for the exam. I practiced writing essays. I reread the plays and introductions. I failed. It wasn't even a D, or a D-. No, I actually failed it.

So, keep me in your thoughts tomorrow morning or cross your fingers or whisper a little "Good Luck".

Always,
H.Eilene


P.S.
Posted this before mentioning anything about a philosophical homicidal maniac ie: Macbeth.

There are a lot of notes about famous Shakespearean actors who have done Macbeth in different ways. Fun Fact: Lawrence Olivier was the first to actually play Macbeth as a sinister character (aka: he was the first philosophical homicidal maniac)
