Well about a month ago I applied to be in an international program that would allow me to have a micro class (two weeks) in England studying Shakespeare. It is being given by an ex-professor so I figured "What the hell, I'll try it." Well my success rate was not high, most applicants were being rejected.

Well congratulate me.  jackthelizard is going to London! Right after my birthday (literally the day after my birthday) I will be traveling to London to study Shakespeare. I can't believe this, my head is spinning. I'm going to be in London and Stratford-on-Avon.

My views on Shakespeare is that he's one of the greatest writers in all of human history and without his writing I wouldn't be the man I am. So am I happy for this chance? I'm drooling right now. If I could see any plays I'd go with Twelfth Night, Coriolanus, Antony and Cleopatra and King Lear. No idea if I'll have the chance but who cares I'm going to London!

I recommend Shakespeare to all fuzzbutts and scailtails of course. Start with comedies, move on to tragedies and see it on stage when you get the chance (I don't). The writing is poetic, the stories beautiful, the plots more violent than Kill Bill and they're just fun.

Of course I want prayers that everything goes just fine. And I'm so excited, I'm going to England!
