So, today, Elizabeth and I walked to the SPO to check our mail before lunch, and on the way back, we saw two girls standing on the sidewalk next to something small. When we got up close to them, we saw it was this little bird, sitting on the sidewalk munching on a soggy bagel. It wasn't moving much, even though Elizabeth, the two girls and I got very close to it - one of the girls even tried to touch it. It moved a bit then - just kind of fluttered away. It looked injured, so Elizabeth and I set off trying to find someone who could take care of the bird. It was quite the adventure - two English majors lost in Spencer looking for a teacher. Eventually we found one but it turned out that the bird could fly a bit, so it probably wasn't injured - the consensus was that it was just really, really wet (it's been pouring all day) and that its feathers were soaked, so it was having a hard time getting off the ground. The picture is not our bird, but one similar that I found on the internet.
Anyway, other than that, not much has been going on. I wrote two papers this week, one on Rumpelstilzchen and one on Moll Flanders. Neither paper was very good. And I turned in a copy of what I've got so far of the Baby Reaper story. Which, I discovered later, I'd forgotten to edit. In the last post I included the first paragraph, with author notes. Apparently I turned it in like that.
I am SO embarrassed. Ugh.
But Kevin didn't seem too perturbed by it. I'll send more as soon as I have more, and once that bit is edited.
I cannot believe I sent him the unedited version. *sigh*
