Last night after work I studied for the Latin vocabulary quiz I was to take today. Then I went to the student recreation center, for the very first time; upon discovering the weight room packed with gym rats, I found a free cross ramp and pedaled for twenty minutes. I could have continued, but I worried I might overextend my muscles, especially as I do not know how to cool down properly. But this morning I felt fine- I must already work those parts of my leg walking around campus. After I read for German and Latin, I shall journey to Work-Out Land again.
In the mail yesterday I did receive the first of the four books I ordered; it chronicles the false historical origin in the discovery of a statue of the snake goddess. Today Amy got the mail and placed a sticky-note to my copy of Archaeology:
Lauree, you are a supreme nerd.It is adorable how she believes she hurts my feelings.
Love, Amy
Skipping Terminology, Ancient Technology, and German, I instead continued reading the article in the library book I checked out the other day. It discusses Greek warfare during the fifth and sixth centuries BC, focusing especially on hoplites. The author includes helpful footnotes of books for reference, some of which I now intend to utilize. I am ecstatic to take the Greek history course next semester.
My English professor granted a grade of one hundred percent to the essay I wrote comparing Monkey to Frankenstein. I had considered it fairly well-written and comprehensive of the question posed, but I applied less effort than I could and should have; I am pleasantly pleased with the result, however. Unfortunately the only further English courses I might take involve linguistics, and those only if I find time. The history classes ought to be writing-intensive, though- that ought to suffice.
