Now is the time to start really thinking about what to write my term paper on... with so many things that have been discovered and so many things that are waiting to be discovered in Nabokov.... i just dont know what to do! i have thought that maybe i could write about just the index of PF like sexson has suggested... but i again dont think that i have the paitence OR the time to give it any kind of credit it deserves! the fact that emily dickenson's work had been messed around with by her family and how kinbote messes with shades could be a good contrast paper... but i feel like i really want to focus on just Nabokov.... i just dont know where to start!
this entire semester i feel like i have been a scatter brain when it comes to writing about and reading about Nabokov i just dont know if i could really get on a topic that could really make a great paper.... i just have to keep thinking along!

in class today i dont know who said it, or when it was said but the comment that was made really stuck out to me... Mistakes you make are more important than the plans that are followed through.... i really liked this and it made me start thinking about Nabokov and how he wrote kinbotes character. kinbote is so focused on himself... that he doesnt pick up on a lot that is really truly going on around him. maybe he is focused on his plans that went not so well... maybe that is why he has made up a distant northern land in his mind to get away from what he has done in his life. he doesnt look at what mistakes have brought him. and really maybe not enough people really look at what a mistake has broughten into ones life... again i feel like i am all over the place... this is what Nabokov does to me! makes me think all over the place... am i even making sense!? haha
