I got a
gentle nudge today from a lovely family friend about how I maybe ought
to update my blog. Oops. In my defense, everything from move-in to the
start of classes has either been too hectic or banal to write about.
So now I’m sitting at my nice desk in my lovely bedroom in my new
flat in the postgrad/grad housing munching on double-stuf Oreos when I
should be making dinner and avoiding tonight’s Latin assignment.
I’m rocking Latin this go-round, by the way. A+. It’s making me feel pretty awesome.
I’m taking a Dante class as well, and my flatmates and I have decided
that one of our Halloween costumes this year are going to reference the
first canto (chapter) of the Inferno. Before Dante descends
into hell, he tries to skip all the bad stuff and climb a mountain that
leads straight to heaven and god and his lifelong unrequited love who’s
suddenly thoroughly enamored with him. He’s thwarted, though, by a
leopard, a lion, and a she-wolf, all of which have very deep allegorical
meanings that nobody actually knows. Soooo… clever animal costumes!
I’m going to be the leopard.
And The Brother, who is taking the train up to spend Halloween
weekend with me, is going to be the tenth doctor from Doctor Who! I
think I’m more excited about it than he is. Maybe I’ll dress up as
Donna Noble one night.
So many oreos. I’m going to turn myself into a fatty, and then I won’t fit into my leopard costume. Brilliant.
