Chapter 3: PARADE OF MARRIAGEABLE WOMEN VISIT BUCKINGHAM
10 JANUARY
Year 21 of the Reign of King Henry XII
Back at school. Upside: Mum no longer asks concerned questions about my prospects and what my plans are for the future. Downside: I have nothing to do but homework and worry about my prospects and my future. I’ve started applying to jobs, too — research assistantships, mostly — because I desperately need a backup plan in case I don’t get into any schools. For my sanity. Sure, I could live with Mum and Dad and Charlie would find me a job doing filing somewhere, but I don’t want any of that. On the upside again: At least I’ll be able to spend the summer working, or preparing for school if I do get in, instead of doing all that while also trying to manage the headache of wedding planning.
