So, I met with The Professor and we discussed if I could and what I should be studying in a special topics class. Last year we were thinking of doing an historical and etymological examination of the concept of "home," but now after doing Old English and The History of the English Language, he thinks I'll be challenged by Middle English.

So for the first few weeks I'll be writing up a guide to different ME dialects, and then I'll be working with one text, a poem from "The Infancy of Christ" and I'll be examining it phonologically, morphologically, syntactically, lexically...at this point he looked up and said "am I forgetting anything?" and I piped up "Graphologically?" and he got this gleam in his eyes and went "Oh! Paleography!" and wrote that down too.

I'm 85% "OMGYAYE!" and 15% "What the hell have I gotten myself into?"

You're "we" with your hot, hot Polish professor. You've gotten yourself into a song by the The Police, my friend.

I was also "we" last year with Jane, and yet there were no comments.
