I went to the mall for my once-a-semester haircut. The girl who cut my hair (Stephanie Danielle Flores, according to the certification posted next to the mirror) made for excellent conversation and chopped everything exactly to specifications. Oddly, this expenditure totaled more than the textbooks I bought this afternoon (three used books: under forty dollars, sehr, sehr nett), but I have come to the conclusion that my hair is one thing I do not mind spending a little more money on; for watches, also, I do not cheap out, after having bought less expensive ones that do not last. Most other extraneous items come from the dollar store.
Minoan and Mycenaean Art has pictures. In Search of the Trojan War also has pictures, but what appears to be a better collective of actual archaeological information. "Heinrich Schliemann" is one of my favorite-est German names, besides the singular "Dieter". My instructors require two German books for my classes. The one for the readings course I found not; the text for the junior-level conversation and composition course looks mystifyingly simple. Kapitel 24 is entitled: "Sport", with terms everyone learns during the first year. I wonder now that I might not have picked up the wrong book.
