went swimming.
Had cheesecake to make up for it.
Spanish prof. is clearly as tired of school as i am.
I have a final and two essays due tomorrow. [or rather today in 9 hours].
Went to two study groups that hardly involved any studying.
!There was edamame in the cafeteria today!!

dude, he totally was in class on Monday. He did his usual "como estas" thing, and then kinda fidgeted, announced that there was a presentation, so we'd have 10 minutos for that, and that leaves 15 minutes... He kept looking at the clock, and when there was still time, he'd feebly go back to that Genesis thing we read... It was so there, twas crazy.

pillow-book style, eh? that's old school and it sounds like school is getting old for your teacher as well (what wit!...). you'll make it through those essays and a final just fine. how did your comparision of arthurian chivalry and japanese bushido go?

oh, the witty wit... rabid_tigress May 7 2006, 00:08:02 UTC

i actually ended up narrowing the tpoic, and talking about bushido thru the ages instead... its an ok essay, a tad too obvious to be really interesting. thanks for vote of confidence

Re: oh, the witty wit... childwithaghost May 7 2006, 01:40:05 UTC

well, Bushido itself is quite a varied and complicated subject, complicated enough so that one could write multiple full essays on the different faces of it - the political aspects (bushido has been both nobility/samurai and homelessness/ronin/'wave men' in different points of Japanese history), the art of bushido (relating to the sword schools and those who practice sword skills only for perfect mastery, much in the way that some studied caligraphy), or even the spiritual side (there were various times where Taoism influenced the philosophy of bushido more than anything else). yeah, there's quite a bit and that isn't even to mention specific practitioners of Bushido and their influence on the culture around them (Miyomoto Musashi, Yagyu Munenori...etc).

narrowing the topic was probably for the best, because chivalry has almost as large a spiderweb of inter-related subjects from the religious influences to the stately positions of knights and how that affected the social belief of chivalry.

i try to be helpful.
