how I got all my work done yesterday. I was sitting in my bed, holding my brand new copy of The Twelfth Night in my hands, deciding when, or if, this reading would even get done. No one else around me was doing homework. I was tired. It was around 4 o'clock, and I knew I had to get to a Superbowl party by 5:30, the latest. Would an hour and a half be enough to read, analyze, understand and ask questions on this book? It actually was. I sat down, started reading, and thoroughly understood and liked it. What was my little secret? I found audio files of many people reading the play out loud, and listened to it as I read along. Kinda like those 'easy reader' books you all had when you were kids. Shakespeare is meant to be read out loud as a play, not read by yourself. So, yeah. I got all my work done on a Sunday afternoon. And I enjoyed it as well.
