The last book of my beginning-of-the-school-year Amazon splurge finally arrived this afternoon. It and two of the other books that arrived earlier ought to be useful for the paper I am to compose for the ancient Greek and Roman sculpture seminar. An initial bibliography and outline (basically a thesis statement) are due tomorrow; I chose to focus on pedimental sculpture. The first Greek and Latin exams fall this week, with this weekend left for me to begin research in earnest.
Dr. Lavigne had Adrian and me practice the "flicking" motion with a frisbee this afternoon. Cigarette in mouth, he explained the mechanics of the throw and patiently received a disc to the foot every other time I threw to him. Adrian begged to be shown how to throw "The Hammer", but Dr. Lavigne says we are not ready.
