Classics Day Agenda:
-picked up Classics Day t-shirtI attended no classes and I ate for free. I was supposed to give some high school kids a campus tour, but only one person (a German exchange student) appeared in the lobby. She didn't want to go by herself, and I instead led her to the room with the pankration demonstration (the reference above to Brazilian Jui-Jitsu). My favorite move involved the Classics graduate student, Jared, back to the ground with his partner between his legs; Jared's legs came up under the other guy's knees to splay them out, which would break the groin muscle. That move was called the "banana split".
-sat at the snack table
-drank three sodas
-talked to Classics people
-peed
-watched a graduate student show the high school kids Brazilian Jui-Jitsu (demonstrating classical fighting methods)
-fantasized about said graduate student naked and oiled, which is how the ancient Greeks fought
-peed
-invited to party at The Classical Society president's house this evening
-loaded leftover snacks and shirts into the president's car
-peed
-walked back to my dorm
I've learned many things since coming to college.
