Let me not love thee, if I love thee not."

Humble Thyself
Or be humbled by others...
"Because of you I will never look at the Butte the same way again, I will always lock my car doors while stopped in the middle of nowhere, I am a better Mao player, I have an incredible rosary, I appreciate people's differences more, and realize that they can actually bring us closer together. Because of you, I've realized that coffee dates can last for four hours, I've laughed so much. Because of you I have a true friend."
Thank you, Aimee.

Si, Senor
If these were the last five books on Earth, I think I could get by just fine.

In the Grand Style of Trouser Punting
I am deathly afraid of my Brit Lit professor.
Well, until today.
The time to schedule classes for Winter and Spring is upon us, here at The College of Idaho. Meaning, ya'll better be meeting with your advisers. Lucky me, I get that adviser that I fear most.
I'm scared because he grades my papers--he sees what a sham I am, and I'm just positive that he will call me out, and demand my immediate removal from the premises.
I get to his office--and he knows my name, and he has a gigantic Much Ado About Nothing movie poster on his wall, so Kenneth Branagh is smiling down on me the entire time; and the Prof is impressed by my preparedness, and he's excited for my Modern Art class, and he asks me how Greek is going; and he is surprisingly un-scary.
It was a kick in the pants--a trouser punt.
Now I'm all planned out for the year--
Greek Language & Literature II
Theories and Methods of the Study of Literature
Marlowe/Shakespeare/Jonson
20th C British Literature
Modern Art after 1940
New Testament Introduction
Greek Readings
I'm ecstatic, and I'm raring to go!
