You know, I take an odd pride in having failed my Master's foreign language certification test (a Simone De Beauvoir translation) despite having studied French since the 5th grade. Maybe it's the fact that my translation, while spectacularly wrong according to the department head, was apparently in the spirit of De Beauvoir.
Also, I've been drinking tonight because I handed in my last paper of the semester, on the constant subliminal politicalization of John Clare's poetry. Well, at least the stuff before he was committed. So to celebrate the evening (or as evening as 530 pm gets), I went to the nearest bar with my classmates and discussed Neil Gamman and horror movies.
