I also love complicated or archaic language, with years of experience dissecting Shakespeare in particular, so I would be happy to help with any comprehension questions you might have! Outside of class, I fence as a part of our school’s Fencing Club, play Dungeons and Dragons, and scheme to get Purchase to let me bring my two cats up here with me.
