This evening my compadre, Rachel, took me with her for ice cream and shopping (in which I swore not to actively partake). Despite loathing the store, I happened to find three decent, long-sleeved shirts on sale, plus six-dollar men's pajama pants, in a festive card suit print. No more ice cream, and no more clothes-buying...
Tonight I must finish my laundry and German reading. I am a little frightening around the eyes, for I worked last night from six until two in the morning, then opened this morning from eight to four in the afternoon. Nevertheless, weekends this semester should be less exhausting than last semester, when I worked all day both days. Saturday I can sleep in, and Sunday I may go to bed early. Ausgezeichnet.
I love the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior holiday season/day, for it provides another day in which I may catch up on Greek. I shall celebrate the spirits of non-discrimination, brotherly love, and human awareness by making flashcards and reading the next two chapters of the Greek textbook. And if I fail to complete German tonight, I may as well continue that tomorrow.
Tuesday should be an easy class day: discussion of the German story, and a video in the Troy seminar. On a classical studies note, Dr. Lavigne needs another thematic documentary or movie for the Classical Society to show this semester, but I am completely useless as an idea resource, for I have only seen "Troy", "Spartacus", Disney's "Hercules", an old production of "Jason and the Argonauts", and "Masada". I suggested "Masada", which would have been fitting if it wasn't a six-hour miniseries. I've adored Peter O'Toole since I first watched "The Last Emperor", but that and "Masada" are the only of his many films I've seen. I'd like to see his Shakespearean interpretations. Sharada's television would facillitate this endeavour, had I a DVD- or VCR player. Shade.
