Much fun was to be had in German this morning- Eike secured a Sesame Street DVD auf Deutsch, which we viewed delightedly. Oscar the Grouch sang ich mag Mull ("I Love/Make Trash") and Cookie Monster sang a sad song to his cookie, which he ate at the end of the song. The TA informed everyone that the last line meant, "I eat everything I love."
In Latin we learned about the perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect (active indicative) forms for all verbs, which was nearly as entertaining as Sesame Street. In English I learned nothing, although when the professor asked what word came from the Marquis de Sade, I was the soul who finally blurted, "Sadism!" ...Thank-you, Human Sexuality Class.
