Dr. Simons' quote of the day: "This is my favorite line in [George] Orwell: 'I thought that the greatest joy in the world would be to drive a bayonet into a Buddhist priest's guts.' And, boy, do they deserve it!"

I'm not going to comment on this quote other than the fact that Dr. Simons did run into Buddhist priests in Vietnam.

OK, quickly, today was another typical busy Wednesday. I got about 3 and a half hours of sleep and endured three classes and chapel. My 8:00 class wasn't too bad, mostly because it was all Shakespeare and a few of his sonnets. I'm beginning to really enjoy Shakespeare and want to start reading all his best stuff. I've only read a little bit of Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Hamlet, and Macbeth. That's all, I think. How much Shakespeare have my readers read? (Basically that's just a plea for someone to comment on my blog!!)

Well, it's time to study for my Foundations of Science quiz. Amy and I mistakenly started to study for it on Monday night because we were under the impression that the quiz was on Tuesday. Hopefully, I'll stay awake.

Peace.

  • hey! this reader comments all the time! albeit they are destructive criticism designed to mock, but hey. for the record: romeo and juliet, hamlet, othello, the two gentleman of verona, macbeth, the tempest, the taming of the shrew, and my personal favorite, Julius Ceasar: "not that i loved ceasar less, but that i loved rome more" "but brutus is an honorable man". great stuff once you figure out what the heck he is talking about.
    Keep it real!

  • Hey Happy! Good to see that I actually contributed something to your education (or at least that it is stating to take effect). Anyway--I love to see that you're taking a liking to Shakespeare--good stuff. Glad two of your four interactions with the guy were in my classes at SCCS. I'll have to mention the other two to Mrs. Hild. We're doing Othello right now in AP--they get to perform their monologues tomorrow. Talk to ya later.
