Today was an amazingly WEIRD day. In an amazingly amazing way, too.
I trotted off to Old English this morning, and heard -- partway down the hall, heading to my room -- my professor speaking, and speaking to a few of my friends. He's usually never in that early... I checked my watch. I was still on time. o_O I walked in...
My professor: Hello Sylvia!
Me: Hi! How are you? I heard you, and for a moment I thought I was late... *glancing to the people at the corner of the room with equipment*.
Professor: I'm good, how are you? We have the CBC here today. I hope you've read your Beowulf. <-- (jokingly, because we hadn't started it yet)
Apparently, and I know about the Beowulf movie coming out in the U.S., but there is also one (it was shown at the Film Festival?) recently filmed by Canadians, though filmed in Iceland. So since we're studying Old English, the CBC came on extremely short notice to "talk to studiers of Old English, and see what they think of the movie". I was tempted to say something, but having frankly no experience with Beowulf yet I felt I shouldn't. Didn't exactly love the movie from a history standpoint, but it was okay. Didn't want to say anything negative on camera about it, either, anyway. :P
Anyhow, they fucking pan over my section of the classroom while we're watching the video again and again, so there's no chance I'm NOT going to be in a shot. *laughs* Embarrassing. I wish it had been a poem we were currently studying, too.
Funniest thing is that some of my "classroom friends" were spoken to briefly, so chances are you might end up seeing Adam (he'll be the one with the red hat), Josh (curly hair; total joker), and Natasha, if you tune in tomorrow night and watch the National. O_O hahaha. Adam tricked me... he articulated his words so well that I'd thought he'd read Beowulf before. He hadn't!! *snickers* He is wise in the art of bullshitting.
And since, for the first time, I didn't have a Medieval history tutorial today, we sort of hung around for a bit after the ordeal, at Hart Hovse. Yes, Hovse. It was nice. o.o
I left early, because I'm exhausted.
