Classics department party was a blast. We watched ridiculous youtube videos (see below for an example), listened to music, and consumed delicious antipasti. Our Greek class proceeded to do our recitations - a success - and each received two printed/(fake-)bound copies of everyone's compilations. Sonia attempted to make it look like our very own Green and Yellow, which was absolutely adorable. She really is such a wonderful professor, and I hope beyond all hopes that she gets tenure. After that, Classics Jeopardy, for prizes. Despite not performing as well I'd hoped in the German Philology category, I left the event as the proud owner of a printed article from 1914 entitled "The Unity of the Enclitic NE." I've started reading it and boy, is it a gem - oh the prose, the prose! Only disappointing thing was that the champagne Erik brought was never opened, and thus Classics major drinking night did not happen. When I ran into Kirk later that evening, we decided that we're going to make sure this will actually happen at some point. Because really, Classics majors together in a pub? Who knows what kind of brilliant commentaries on ancient texts or embarrassing face-plants could happen?
One of the videos that Lindsay (and I) made the class watch. Ellen was particularly enthusiastic about the Macedonia/My Sharona one:
Currently, am endeavoring to survive the library. More on that boring stuff later.
