Brandeis book sale, part 4 (aren't you all sick of this by now?)

[mayhap]

Muah. I am now, like, swimming in books. I could actually do that, I think. Like Scrooge McDuck swimming in his vault of gold coins. It would be about as logistically probable.

As always, the sale was supposed to open at 10:00, but by 9:30 there were vultures with their boxes already twitching the sheets off the tables over the the feeble protests of the aged volunteers about fairness and such. Fortunately, I was there at 9:15, so no worries there. ;)

*sighs happily*

I miss my coercedbynutmeg. Here's hoping she gets herself some intarwebnet, soon.

My favorite project ever was when we all had to write and illustrate children's books promoting Spartan morals.

o_O Yikes. Awesome project. :D I'm trying to remember Spartan morals, and I'm coming up with things like 'Women and children were little more than chattel' and 'Sparta as a whole was more important than any individual'. But I seem to recall them not owning slaves, as such. It's been a long time since that history class.

I think my favourite history project was when I got to construct a pyramid and the Sphinx out of Lego, to go with a report on the construction of the pyramids. It was one of the few times in high school that I really enjoyed doing my homework. :)
