Wow, they sound like the Bronte kids to me http://www.collectionscanada.ca/canvers/t16-203-e.html

I had to write a paper about the Romantic movement in Europe this semester, but on a European composer or artist, not a writer.

Did you have to read Roughing It In The Bush? http://digital.library.upenn.edu/wom.../roughing.html

Thanks for mentioning her, she sounds interesting. I don't have any real Canadian ancestors, I do have one great great grandfather that was allegedly born in Canada (don't know where) but came to Michigan (Grand Rapids) as a boy.

I'm glad you got a bit of extra time. I'm in good shape in my course until the end of the month when my term paper is due (and I've only got a couple more pages to do on that) and final exam will happen. My worst stress will come when my two semesters overlap starting the second to last week of January; I'll be starting 2 classes and trying to complete the term paper and study for the final in this semester's. Ugh.
