I have to select an article for my Latin 300 classmates to read; provide an electronic copy; lead a brief discussion. We turned in a ten source bibliography of articles which we might choose from ... within the first three weeks of class. I would swear that I printed all of the articles on my bibliography. Which should mean I have ten articles.  My ( Read more... )

Memorization assignment for my Mythology class:

Sorry there've been no posts of late. Burning the candle at both ends the weeks before Spring Break. I'm dogsitting for the first weekend of break, then going home with a friend for the rest of the week.

Several people died in a plane crash near here at a small airport. You can read the full story at the Missoulain's website.

I have a cold. I hate colds. Really, considering the frequency, severity, and duration of illnesses which many of my friends seem to endure, I get off pretty easily. But I still don't like being sick. I hate that I have to talk myself into sleeping and drinking orange juice. And I hate that there is a mountain of chores and homework which I ought ( Read more... )
