As an assignment from my current English course I was to read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I will admit that I started the assignment with little enthusiasm and wished simply for it to be over. The novel however, was greater than I anticipated and before I was a quarter of the way through I was hooked. Honestly, it is the original chick flick written with grace and insight that makes any girl long for a gentleman like Darcy or Bingley (but mainly Darcy).
Where have the men like him gone? I will not dwell on this question long because it is sure to take me to territory that I do not wish to venture into but this last sentence on the subject I will give; I will be a lady worthy of praise and to be held in high regard if I can only find a gentleman so worthy of the same esteem.
There, my Jane Austen wish is done and I can give an update of my current situation. I'm still working and living and going to school. I have reached the half way point in the term and its down hill from here. I hope to earn a B in all of my courses but I am finding it difficult to focus and a research paper (which is based on the Jane Austen novel interestingly enough) is due in less than two weeks that hasn't been started and a statistics test was failed only days ago. I am diligently trying to improve my studies though and minimize distractions. Not that I have many distractions from my non-existent social life :). I will celebrate another birthday in a few days and I look forward to a small party with family.
Alas, responsibility beckons me and I feel I must leave now. Do not dismay. I will write again as soon as I time allows.

That is one question that no guy in his right mind even attempts to answer anymore.
