mayhapI am currently bumming around campus, killing time before The Class Which I Devoutly Hope to Drop. I won't know until tomorrow if I can actually drop The Class Which I Devoutly Hope to Drop (known to some as Early Renaissance Painting), so I shouldn't really skip It.
The two classes I had this morning are one right after the other and down the hallway from each other on the same floor in the same building, giving me strong flashbacks to high school. The first, Ancient Egyptian Mortuary Traditions (hereafter Death on the Nile) will be covering just that and should be quite a lot of fun, as I am still madly jealous of my friend who is studying Egyptology. Our professor casually referenced Dorothy Sayers, and I think it's pretty difficult to go wrong with a professor who knows her Sayers. The second, Acting Medieval Literature (hereafter Minstrelsy) is going to be very cool. We're not even doing any theatre per se, instead focusing exclusively on other literature and how it would have been performed.

Date: 2004-01-20 09:06 pm (UTC)I have no good things to say about the movie other than that the scenery is pretty, and maybe John Hurt doesn't suck. I'm trying to forgive Christian Bale for his involvement, but it's pretty hard. Incidentally, I am absolutely sure that I would still hate the film even if I hadn't read the book, so it's not just one of those "the book was better" deals.
Downloaded Down and Out... it's next on my list.
