Lemon Cucumbers and Religious Poets of the 17th Century

I am loving all my lit classes, but really, taking four was a bad idea. I spend all my time reading! One of my professors wanted to meet with everyone for a few minutes and get to know us a bit and I had my meeting today. When he found that out, he asked if I had any life outside school...I laughed and said no. But that meeting made me want to be more productive and I sent and figured out what I need to know for the next year of school.

First things first, I should have applied for the English Teaching program this semester, but I didn't. So when I went to my advisor, she had a bit of a challenge figuring out classes to take until I can start the program (when I get accepted in February) next fall. She left me with a much lighter load than I'm used to, so I think I'll finally take some of those crazy fun classes that BYU has to offer, like bowling or maybe a dance class.

Back to my crazy four lit classes. The fun thing is really to make connections between all four. I have to write a 15 page paper and do a 12-15 minute conference presentation on said paper for my advanced writing class. I have to do it on George Herbert who is a rather boring religious poet. I, however, was inspired by the Romantic idea of the poet-prophet that we talked about in my eng 292 class and I am kind of enjoying writing this paper...or I would be if I weren't stressed about length.

The best part of my day though, was going the the temple and the farmers market. On Thursday for the next few weeks, they are having a farmers market in the stadium parking lot. It was so much fun! I bought some apples and a little pumpkin for cooking (why have canned when I just have to throw it in the oven for an hour and thats it?). One lady sold me on a lemon cucumber. They are these little round, yellow things with a few prickelys on them. I tasted it and was amazed! It was really good!! I also bought some apples cuz I love them.

Now to just get a social life...
