Pa-Pa sent an envelope with a twenty-dollar bill inside to my address last week. I promptly went to Amazon for a couple of books: The Latin Sexual Vocabulary and Mass and Elite in Democratic Athens: Rhetoric, Ideology, and the Power of the People. They both arrived within the past couple of days, and I hope to consume them over the winter break, perhaps, between reading whatever Der Grair Bär recommends. I am to meet with him sometime this afternoon to discuss material I ought to read.
My Latin final will be a pizza party, for Adrian/Mikki volunteered to make the order. Greek I need to study for massively, but afterward I should do fine. Yesterday Dr. Reed showed the class precisely which images from the textbooks she would test over and explicitly gave the main points that we are to address. I translated most of the German texts and have only to type them up, print them out, and turn them in tomorrow. The end of this semester will be relatively painless.
