I got train tickets! I'm coming home in October, we have a four day weekend for Mid-term break, weekend of the 14th. And I'm bringing a college friend with me! Her name is Joan. She's really cool. So, yeah....
I went to hear Cornell West talk tonight. It was really awesome. He is so animated and he's really frank and talks like you're his best friend. It was really interesting. If anyone ever gets a chance, they should go hear him.
Time for Latin.
Thermopylae:
"Exercitus noster est magnus," Persicus inquit, "et propter numerum sagittarum nostrarum caelum non videbitis!" Tum Lacedaemonius respondet: "In umbra, igitur, pugnabimus!" Et Leonidas, rex Lacedaemoniorum, exclamat: Pugnate cum animis, Lacedaemonii; hodie apud inferos fortasse cenabimus!"
"Our army is great," a Persian says, "and because of our numerous arrows you will not see the sky!" Then a Spartan responds: "Therefore, in shadow we will fight!" And Leonidas, the Spartan king shouts: "You fight with soul, Spartans; today perhaps we will dine among the shades (the dead)!"
P.S. First rain of Tacoma!!!
