i'll be terribly sorry when katharine horsley returns to england this at the end of this year. what i'd do (or would have done last semester) without her is simply unthinkable. she is really the sweetest person in the english department and a supportive big sister figure to me, always listening to my fears and giving advice and coming between the departmental dragon and his wrath. and she called me nearly daily over winterbreak when i was having panic attacks. and she publishes left and right and wins dozens of teaching awards too. i see her name in the cue guide all the time. and on top of that she has time to run websites on fields totally unrelated to her own research here. when i grow up, i want to be like her!
