OK so I won't bore you with details since I don't think I'm that interesting, unless you want to talk about Medieval literature or Iceland. Then I can talk your ear off. But anyhow, I'm a senior at Smith College. I skipped a year because I had enough credits and I wanted to move on to grad schools where more resources on Medieval literature, notably that written in Old Norse, would be available to me. I'm not saying Smith doesn't have a lot, I think Neilson has 342 books on Iceland.. but I felt it was time to move on. Nevertheless, I am a staunch supporter of Smith. If it wasn't for Smith, I may have never found my interest in Icelandic studies.
