To Begin--Sort of

I thought it may be beneficial for those who stumble upon this site to have some background on myself. I'm a graduate in English from Southern Utah University who is in the process of frantically waiting to hear from the graduate programs that I have applied to. My interests lie along the lines of very old texts--the kind that we have to read in translation, even though it's supposed to be english (pre-Chaucer), and fantasy lit. I ahve also recently discovered that I may enjoy narratology and plan on looking into that.
I got married in 2001; had my first child, a boy, two days after our first anniversary; and had a daughter in 2004. There are ups and downs with this, but I wouldn't change my family for anything.
Thus far, I am following the example of Rae, who refers to her family as letters (which creates some interesting sign/signifier issues). Anyway, I have been asked to run an errand, so I must go for now, but I may add some later.
