I feel like I’ve neglected something important. I should have mentioned: I’m done school for the year, except for two exams. This leaves me with a lot of free time in December. Well, to call it “Free time” doesn’t make a lot of sense considering how much money I am paying to have it. I hope I can make the most of this time.
Haiku!
One thousand racists!
They all got on a spaceship
and went to White World.
Also worth noting: My last day at work will be the Twenty-Second of December. That will also be creating some free time, though this one is going to come a significant loss of income. Oh well!
A few nights back I had a dream wherein I found out that walking around shirtless with a baseball bat and a moustache got me crazy amounts respect and fear from the populace. Also, I learned to ride a unicycle.
Last night I dreamt I was the sole passenger on a bus across Canada. I had two laptops set up and was getting a bunch of work done until some annoying guy I went to high school with (but who doesn’t exist in real life) got on and wouldn’t stop talking to me. He was trying to convince me to go to the class reunion, even though we were both on a bus riding away from the city it would be in.
Not my weirdest dreams, but still good.
Yesterday I wrote my end-of-term test for my Mythology class. It was an in-class sort of thing, not a full-blow essay, not that I know the difference. I’m pretty sure that I did quite well.
I guess this is probably the class combines doing well and enjoying it the most, so I’ll call it my favorite, though I don’t really like picking favorite things. This is strange because, as I’ve probably said elsewhere, I took this class in my failed university attempt and it was terribly boring that time around. Fortunately an improved model professor was all I needed. I still don’t like doing the essays and stuff, but the class is nice.
So far the only full-length text we’ve covered that I hadn’t already read is Bacchae, a play by Euripides. I liked it. It made me want to check out some more Euripides sometime anyway. But while reading up on the Bacchae, I looked up one of the characters, Tiresias, on the Wikipedias. There I found that he is the father Orlando from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics. Well now, why didn’t they bring that up when they assigned the Bacchae? That’s the sort of thing that’ll get my interest.
