Humming along to Todo Carinho as it played softly from Josie's laptop in her room, Josie wrote her notes from today's Shakespeare Phenomenon seminar onto a Word document. She wanted to keep all her notes with her if she were to study someplace else, so writing them onto a document on her laptop was something that worked really well for her. It also gave her the chance to write everything over a second time, making her go through everything and remember it. This was something she had started doing late in her second semester of the first year, but it had worked so well then that Josie had just continued. Now, even though it would take her quite some time, she would do this after every seminar or lecture just so she could feel like she genuinely knew what was going on.
Though they would go through many different texts in the Shakespeare Phenomenon module, the one they would focus the most on this year was Macbeth. After Twelfth Night, Josie liked Macbeth best out of all of Shakespeare's plays. She was very happy they would focus most on Macbeth, though she could not wait for the lectures primarily focused on Romeo and Juliet's influence on pop culture.
"'Shakespop'," Thian had said when he saw what their lecturer had titled the two weeks with focus on Shakespeare in popular culture. "That's prime dad humour, that is."
Out of their little gang, Thian and Josie were the only ones genuinely interested in Shakespeare. They both preferred to study older literature to the newer like Annalise, Hayden, and Chloe did. Though Josie did love a good YA fantasy book, she found that she liked them better if she kept them for her own pleasure and not for any uni work. Besides, it was fun to interpret older literature, at least more fun than modern one, Josie thought. It was fun to analyse old texts and make them gay. Thian especially thought Josie's interpretations were interesting.
However, this lecture had been different, besides it being the first. Josie had written as much down as she possibly could, but she had also been sitting on her phone typing the same word into Google's search bar over and over and over again. Strathy. It said the same thing with each search: Strathy is a scattered community in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. Strathy is on the north coast of Scotland, on the A836 road some twenty miles west of Thurso. The village itself includes at least three distinct areas: Strathy East, Strathy West, and Strathy Point.
