My English professor finally discussed the book (arbitrarily entitled Monkey) today; he had been leading up to it by discussing eight stages in human psychological development for the past two lectures. Students had questions about the text, which is translated from ancient Chinese, but he opened the lecture to questions and will probably continue resolving them Friday. I felt I understood the primary concepts as I read, yet the novel being an allegory left me open to considerable doubt as to my interpretations, especially as I know little of ancient Chinese culture.
My hands reek of latex.
I will meet with the mythology professor tomorrow morning to provide an account of my wonderful self.
Study time.
