"When Octavia, who was in Greece (Illyria) at the time, heard that Julius Caesar had been assassinated and that he had been named Caesar's heir, he is said to have hesitated whether to or not he should return to Italy and claim in 'inheritance' (cf. C&F B3). Write a soliloquy in which Octavian debates with himself the pro and cons of returning or staying in Greece."
"We do not know how long Octavian had been in communication with Antonius and Lepidus, but a meeting was not quickly arranged (A. Jones, 23)." Write a letter between two of the three men or a series of communications in which they agree to a meeting.
One of these ideas will serve as the basis for the first paper in my CLAS330 class. We're getting a chance to create historical evidence for the first and (hopefully) last time. I have been putting off choosing a topic because he gave us so much freedom.
Teacher: Pick something ambiguous in history and make it less ambiguous. As if you'd been there FOR REALZ!
Class: O.o
Yessir, that was me us.
I went ice skating for the first time on Sunday night. It was a whole lot of fun. I was reminded of one of the big differences between Kianna and myself; she learns slowly and carefully while I learn slowly and recklessly. I actually did pretty well (in my mind) for my first time on the ice but I fell too hard five or six times and have the bruises to show for it. I also crashed on my chin/face once and stayed home today because I thought there was a possibility of a concussion. You're not supposed to have a headache that lingers for a day and a half, right?
Almost all caught up with my homework but I need to go and work on my Latin. I'm giving myself until Wednesday to actually get started on the dratted CLAS paper that I was talking about above. It's due on Tues. of next week so I'll have plenty of time over five days or so... hopefully. The most important thing is to keep up on my reading as I'm already running up on midterms in the classes that I'm going to be having midterms in. That just blows my mind.
I need to go look at the class schedule (I say it "skejool" aloud but say it "shejool" in my mind) for the upcoming quarter. Vale!
me,
