You know I swear if I actually stick with my degree then it will be entirely down to The Librarians. Starting from next year we’re forced to take 2 pre-1789 modules and previously I wasn’t sure what to pick. Definitely in reference to the Shakespeare module this was my reaction…

But thanks to The Librarians I’m feeling loads more positive about Shakespeare these days. They are so enthusiastic about him, that it makes me interested despite myself.

and I’m writing an essay on Preludes by T.S. Eliot right now and what’s cheering me up is picturing Jacob Stone being his usual self with his absolute love of literature and art, and remembering him debating T.S. Eliot in the Image of Image episode. True it was only a reference but it’s enough of a touchstone to make me actually write this essay (I take the victories where I can find them).

So in conclusion, yes I’m procrastinating ooops, but also I don’t know I just feel like this is important. It’s stuff like this that makes me mourn The Librarians cancellation even more because I think the world needs to see a love of learning on screen (I certainly do!). I can’t help but smile every time Flynn goes “I do not know and isn’t that great!” because while he likes having the answers, he loves learning new things even more.

Shutting up now (I really should finish this essay) but yeah just watch The Librarians. There’s only 42 episodes and I’m not claiming it’s perfect but it’s made of happy and thoroughly enjoyable as well as being a good influence on me study-wise.
