Thanks, Cass. I can look forward to my graduation ceremony this coming week. I anticipate that it will be a rather tedious and long-winded affair on the whole, but at least there'll be that fun bit at the end (I presume) where everyone gets to throw their hats into the air.

Exactly how all this immersion in English literature is going to help me in the real world, when the time comes, is anyone's guess, but I can certainly hold my own in conversations on Samuel Beckett and Laurence Sterne.
