Second-to-last day of classes, and yes it was bizarre. We laughed far too much over nothing at all, in both classes, and had an argument about pulley systems (damn those metaphyiscal conceits and people who have no mechanical knowledge) and got exam questions.
Well, in philosophy Hopkins told us all the answers. So that'll be easy.
And in Lit...I guess it's a good thing when I want to work on every single question and then talk about them? All of them? Hah, I love that class. I am so glad we have Taylor next quarter...it's just an extension. We get to pick one question to prepare a response for, and then he'll ask us a second. I want to do too many of them. I think my favorite question may just have to be this one though:
"In 1598, a commentator (Francis Meres), listing Shakespeare's plays up to that date included Love's Labour's Won, which does not now exist. On the basis of Shakespearean plays you have read (here or elsewhere), describe some of the characteristics we can expect that play to have when it is rediscovered."
(Which of course made me think of Thursday Next and Cardenio, and I really want to answer that question.)
Tomorrow is World AIDS Day. I am wearing a shirt that says "i'm a statistic" to represent...one hundred people, I think, with AIDS. So, um, be safe, kids. Use condoms. Don't share needles. Be smart. All that.
Now I needs must finish my lit paper draft...and all my history journals for that book I don't understand at all. Argh.
...wait, what? Danica just came in and said Campion Hall has $3000 in community damages...for throwing a microwave out the 12th floor window and vomit in the elevators. What? Who does that? Goddammit, I hate paying for other people's mistakes, it pisses me off. Grrrrr.
