Before you think I'm insane (maybe it's too late)

...maybe I should tell you why I *heart* Russian Formalism.

When I looked at the schedule (or "timetable" or "shed-yool" as they say o'er here) for the Literary Theory lecture, it looked scary. Russian Formalism? What on earth was that, and how would it help me understand St. John of the Cross?

Well, I went to the lecture today, and...it was the same stuff I teach my undergraduates on the first days of class!!!!!

Sometimes I forget that these things are all connected. I never thought I would use some of the things I learned in my Master's program in Communication, but I am. Wacky.

Back to work. G'night!
