Hamlet

For the past week or so, I have been reading, listening and watching Hamlet. I must say that I am really enjoying it. The words that Shakespeare used in this play have so much power and feeling. He really captures the soul of his character. Because it is so deep, I feel that I have just begun to grasp the text. There is still so much that I do not see.
This morning I read over the assignment requirements, and it hit me: this is going to be a really hard paper. I like the challenge, but I do not like the time crunch, especially with something as complex as Hamlet. I have not even read the whole thing yet, so I feel like I am starting in the dark. I know that I have said this with all of my papers, but I truly think that this is going to be the hardest I have ever written! I wish I had more time to get to know the play. I just need to start eat, sleep, and breath Hamlet for the next couple of weeks! OOOUUGGH! The more I think about it the more overwhelmed I become. Time ticks on and my life seems to drain away in learning as fast as I can. I do not want to live my life in the shadow of deadlines. Otherwise I will never see life in the right light.
