ANY IDEAS???

Thursday, March 23, 2006

I completed my Shakespeare presentation on Tuesday and am now working on two presentations for Spenser due this coming Wednesday. Once those are complete, I will only have two papers and two finals to finish out the semester. That is a nice feeling because I only have two summer classes to get through and all of my course work will be completed. Then I'll have comp exams and this dissertation to write.

Still wondering where the Motor Maids got their name from. I'm also wondering what the conotations of being called maids are. Anyone aware of the meaning of Maid or Maids during the 1940s that might be different from what we think of today? I'll have to research that one some more.

I'm headed to the National Popular Culture conference in Atlanta GA at the end of April and I'm presenting a narrative on the first time I ever wore the current uniform and rode in a parade. That paper is going fairly well.

Back to work.
