Horrible couple of days, the details of which I shall not go into just now.

Tomorrow bodes well, however. I was, as mentioned in passing previously, invited to speak to one of the fourth year history seminars at the university on literacy and the press in Victorian Britain. I am very excited. I met with the professor today and she seemed very excited to have me. She says she hasn't told the students in the class about me yet -- I am to be a surprise guest speaker.

I am looking forward to this immensely. An entire captive audience and two hours to myself to go on at great length about the Victorian press and W.T. Stead. Fantastic!

Sometime tonight I am going to change my lj name to in_stead. Five months after the completion of my M.A., the name still appeals. For now, however, dinner.
