And actually I don't know how I did.
My supervisor thought my essay good although a bit too much focused on the "authorship" part than on the "actual text" part.
But hey, if he gives me a topic as general as "Problems of female authorship in >Geschichte des Fräuleins von Sternheim<", I'll take the text to illustrate the things I say on the problems of female authorship.
After I read the essay to him (that felt weird...) we discussed some points I had mentioned in the essay and then focussed on the text itself.
I think I did an acceptable job in stating my thoughts and ideas but again I don't know for sure how I did. In the end my supervisor just said that he had liked the essay and found it interesting to discuss with me. Ooookay. So what about some more precise feedback?
I also don't know if he will write a report or something like that to my tutor, I know it's done that way for regular undergraduates but 1. I'm graduate and 2. I'm Visiting, so I have no idea how far I'll get into the system of tutorials here.

On another note, I finally gave in to peer pressure and bought a college sweater.

It's one of those dark blue, hooded sweaters with a bag in front, and of course it has the college crest on it. ^^
I bought it mainly because the weather here begins to turn autumn-ish, with fine spraying rain and cold winds, and I thought I could use this sweater very well when I walk to floorball training and back.
Now I'm back at work. Although my next essay is in 6th week (now it's 2nd week) I have to start reading... I got the assignment to read as much texts as I can find by Caroline Auguste Fischer, and guess what - I've found 5 novels and two editions with short prose and novellas. Something about 1600 pages worth of reading for me.
I guess you know where to find me in the next month.
