Clouds

I will never forget Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Ok, maybe I will someday, but not for a while. That was just plain awesome. Just for kicks, I'll put the sequence of events in a play format.

[A beautiful, fair weathered day in mid February. Clear blue skies, mild temperatures.]
[A college classroom. One by one students enter and take their seats, chatting with their neighbor, all have brought their play "Clouds" by Aristophanes.]
*Enter the professor, Dr. Tucker.*
Tucker: Hello, class!
Class: Hi, hello, etc.
Tucker: OK! Describe to me what the young men in the thinkatorium looked like.
Class: ...
Student: Uhh, weaklings, kinda scrawny?
Tucker: Yes, yes. Very scrawny, and verrry pale. Why is that? Because they spend all day inside studying with their noses in books and aren't outside enjoying the 60 degree weather while we have it. Class is cancelled! Go and do something outside!
Class: What?! Sweet!!
*Exit students*
FIN

That's pretty much how it went! I went on a lovely, but short walk with my suitemate (also in Humanities with me) and my room mate. It was only a short one because, sadly, I had to go to work. But I was pretty happy to be outside for a bit nevertheless! Aaaand then I got sick on Thursday and didn't make it to class.... Bummer.

But anyway.... Clouds was ridiculous to say the least! Pheidippides kind of annoyed me.... It's funny how at first he was obsessed with horse racing, but then after he went to the school, he was all about sophistry and reasoning.... It was easy to read, but I didn't enjoy it all that much.

Yep, that's my blog for today. I'm off to Rapid for the weekend.
