I had to do Chaucer at school.

Was it hard?

Oo er.

Yes, it was almost flipping impossible!

I have to do Chaucer from memory!

Whaaa?

We could take our books in (with various full essays written in the back in pencil ) to all our exams.

It's really silly that we have to memorise. *kicks stone*

Oh god no! Uni flashbacks!

We had to translate Beowulf, and numerous other texts of that period.

I'm not so sure...I think Mr. Armitage translated it once already though...

Last night I learned that Chaucer was my 23-greats-grandfather.
