I was supposed to have read these already but...oh well, whatever, I'm reading them now.
From Horace's Satires:
"...My countryside, when can I see
your face again? When can I leave this day-
to-day fatigue, forget it like a dream,
and spend my time with ancient books, in sleep,
in lazing days? When can I have warm beans
(Pythagoras, I'm sorry. They're souls
to you, but food to me) and vegetables
and juicy ham -- What nights of feasting fit
for gods!"
::falls over laughing:: Don't you love that aside to Pythagoras?
I signed up to meet Professor Tarrant today (he's holding special office hours until the end of next week because there are 700+ people enrolled in the class, and this is the only way for him to meet any of us individually), and when I walked into his office, two of the books on his table were Roman Homosexuality and Love Between Women. Probably academic, but still amusing nonetheless, especially because he's apparently Catholic. I think. He said he sang in St. Paul's choir, which should be reasonable grounds for assumption, neh?
I never talk about any of my other professors do I? Did I tell you that my instructor for math has a British accent and gestures almost constantly? I have yet to see him stand still for more than a second. He's actually very effective at keeping me awake because I'm suppressing the urge to laugh half the time. He's not ridiculous, but he is very tall and very lanky, kind of like Ichabod Crane, though less clumsy, and I just find it hilarious. ^_^ Hm...but my professors for Korean and biology are pretty much normal. They have their moments of humor, but they have not done anything particularly out of the ordinary yet.
