I'm very satisfied with my grade on my midterms!! I just wish I had done better on my essay about the internal conflict of the Iliad (which is weird because I thought I would do best on that one). Perhaps I strayed too far from the subject by talking too much about Hector and his family, but oh well! I was just pleased that I put a full page response for each question and got an A on it ;)
Now we've started talking a lot about Christianity and God, which I personally think is cool since I'm a believer. I've never really studied how Christianity developed in Rome, so it's really fascinating. I do recall a friend telling me about a series of books she was reading called the "Mark of Lion" series, and I believe they take place in Rome and of course have something to do with Christians being thrown into the pits to be mauled by lions and such, like we talked about in class. I'm interested to learn more!
P.S. Thank goodness we're not being penalized by not blogging over break! And I love the fact that every now and then we cancel class to enjoy the nice weather :) but, of course it only gives me an extra half hour or so before I go to work... It's still nice though!
