I stole this from Hanging Up, a movie love with Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton and Lisa Kudrow. Maxi-stroke vs mini-stroke. I should probably credit Diane Keaton with the great phrase. *** That even the eminent Ruth Yeazell (Director of Graduate Studies at Yale after 20 years at UCLA) had also run into trouble with one of her first college papers cheered me up considerably. I got an A in the course, but it was an intense semester which made clear why Yale gave English majors the booklet, A Survival Kit for English Majors. Of course the Canterbury Tales was kids stuff compared to the Faerie Queene, which everyone in English 125 is warned may precipitate a mini-breakdown. I dont believe in doing anything by halves (at least, I didnt then), so I went with the maxi-breakdown at Christmas of 1990 when home in LA for the holidays.
