im just gonna say it: i do not know the title to this presentation and i am going to have to look it up in the conference schedule so i can finish my powerpoint
#sophies ramblings#to be somewhat fair to myself the moderator changed it slightly for clarity's sake (fair enough) so i have not forgotten my OWN work

i would LOVE to know why [job] thinks im qualified for this. but hey, i won't look a 'please send more materials' in the mouth

i did think that this one sonnet was present in 1565 and not in 1564 or ever after, but it just seems to be that the title was taken away instead. STILL. wild addition. extremely combative. extremely relevant. i should've put this in my dissertation.
