I was reading on our wonderful friend Wikipedia about anniversaries because Halo is more important than me right now to my boyfriend. Just kidding! Anyways... a 55th anniversary is an emerald anniversary. Does that mean that you're supposed to give the couple an emerald of some sort? I really hope not because our family is contributing money to a private Catholic school in their name! That's kind of what they would want instead of a gift. They're pretty modest people. But anyway... back to this emerald thing. They're one of my favorite gemstones! They're so pretty and green! OOOHHH! If I ever get married I'd want an emerald instead of a diamond! Hint hint videogame playing boyfriend! Ok seriously like he'll ever read this stuff! But really they're pretty cool! oh yeah! Happy birthday Cassie and happy anniversary Dr. Sexson.

Regretful!

I am very sorry to inform you all that I won't be in class Friday. I have a good reason though... I am going to Pennsylvania for the weekend to attend my grandparent's 55th wedding anniversary. They, like Dr. Sexson were married on groundhog's day. I will be back on Monday so post some good notes!

This is a picture of the 9 muses. Mnemosyne, meaning memory, is the mother to these 9 wonderful women who make the world turn. If it wasn't for the muses we would have no inspiration to do anything. The muses are also agents to recollection... that means that to get to memory you must go through the muses first. Get it? It makes sense if you think about it really hard.


Today I've been struggling with everything! It seems like quite a drama filled day! DRAMA!!! The four writers who define classical drama are Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophonies, and Aeschylus. I've never heard of the last one, but I'm sure that during this class I will find out more. OOOHHHH! Wikipedia opportunity! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeschylus#Biography This is his biography and from there you can find out what plays he wrote! FANTASTIC!!!





The most truthful phrase that I've ever heard in my life was said today in class! Men are useful but not necessary! That is honestly the truth. I don't know that I would want to be A sexual because that's just no fun! Men really are useful, they take out the trash, cut the firewood, and rub your back when it hurts. They aren't however necessary because women can do all of the above, we just don't always like to do these things.





Antigone! What an amazing woman! She is incredibly unselfish! At the same time she is a little bit selfish because you wonder if she didn't bury her brother just to make everyone mad. She's a powerful amazing woman nonetheless. Her name means... against the womb?!?! That doesn't make much sense to me. Another chance for wiki! It means opposite of her ancestors. That makes a lot more sense since all of her ancestors seem to be slightly off their rockers. She was strong and faithful to her values unlike the rest of her family who were backstabbing incest creeps! SCARY! If you want to see more about Antigone's name here's the link!

That's about all that I have energy for tonight!
