I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible. I keep these entries from the years of my life - no matter how i feel about them today - available because i find it useful to revisit events i now interpret differently. My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984.

Things i should not be doing at midnight

I should not be making buttermilk pancakes and drizzling blueberry jam over them. Alas, when The Joy of Cooking said they come out best if the batter is refrigerated for 6 hours or longer - i knew i was doomed. Although i have to get up very early for school tomorrow (and the day after that) at least i have something to look forward to for breakfast.

By the by, pancakes are an excellent midnight snack. They took me 20 minutes from start to finish (i fried up two) and the rest is now in my fridge for the rest of the week’s breakfast.

Other than that, i have been good today. My schedule has gone off track, but because an article i was going to just skim turned out to be pertinent for my larger paper unaffiliated with a course. I went to Italian even! I went to Latin (despite getting up an hour late because i fell asleep at like 3am again)! I started to read an article on Montaillou! I read an article on Dante and Boccaccio’s influence on Chaucer. I am reading a chapter from a book on the same topic right now (after my snack break). Encourage me! Be wowed by both my productivity levels and my lack of advancement on the papers i have to write in the next three weeks. Yes, there is still essentially no research accomplished. I am on it…
