Update

I have arrived in Paris.

Preparing for Departure

I leave for Paris in just a few short days. In the last few weeks I 1). moved out of my apartment, and 2.) worked a temporary job for College Board (Advanced Placement Testing) to raise money for this trip. For now I am spending my remaining time in the States with family and friends, lazing about in Louisville's public parks (Cherokee and Long Run), and desperately trying to finish my reading before I leave - not going to happen. I am close, though. Aside from the primary works listed previously, I am also reading through a few of the numerous secondary sources listed by my Shakespeare professor, Dr. John O'Conner. Most notably, The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare on Film. I am also working through Shakespeare & Co. (Stanley Wells), a book given to me by an English professor of mine from Bellarmine. My next update should be from Europe, so until then, Au Revoir.
