Realising you can link The Water-Babies and A Christmas Carol through their use of purgatory and maybe include one or two The Divine Comedy quotes to really impress the examiner? Makes you happy enough to actually yell "Oh! THAT'S AWESOME!" At 11am. When nearly your entire flat is probably still asleep.

BUT IT IS AWESOME.

edit: I think I totally deserve another cup of tea for this.

edit: However, trying to memorise quotes in the original Italian and then giving the English translation may possibly be pushing my luck. Alas.

I knew I should've learned Italian this year.

edit: I've always said I'll be bored of university after three years but if Lancaster did courses like this? You know, of actual interest? I'd never *leave*.

I'd swear, you could come to this university and not know literature existed before the time of Shakespeare. And not know it continued after about 1940; the English department here have a serious addiction to the most boring period of history. *woes*

edit: Though um. I'm come to realise that no matter what time period I'm meant to be studying, be it Shakespeare or modern or Victorian, I always seem to end up back in Italy, either 13C or something with a B.C. tagged on the end. Every. Single. Time.

The fact I'm doing English literature seems to have escaped my notice it seems. ^_^ Oh well.
