Roland

In class on Thursday we had to read the first 70 paragraph thingys for The Song of Roland.  While I was reading oru section for class I was honestly getting annoyed at the book.  I am fine reading things that rhyme but if it is an entire book then that gets pretty annoying.  I had to take quite a few break while reading because it was bugging me so much.  It seems like a pretty good book though, I am interested in seeing how ti turns out, even though Tucker kind of gave it away during class.  I find it really intriguing how many symbols, metaphores, and representation to the Christian faith there is in this book, I really like it.  Also, some of the books we have been reading relate back to Achilles, I wonder if all the authors planned that or if scholars have just looked into these things too much.

Nice Weather

So, on Tuesday I was at a meeting and was running late for class and so I jogged across campus that way I would be able to not miss a lot of what was going on.  I came in a few minutes late and I was handed back my mid term and my cultural event paper.  I must admit that I did a lot better then I thought I did, so that took a huge load off of my shoulders.  Tucker started talking but took me by surprise, announcing that we were not going to have class because it was such a beautiful day outside!  I loved it, I was able to go outside for a walk and enjoy the gorgeous Spring weather!!  On Thursday we took notes all class period about Rome to the Early Christian Middle Ages and that was fairly interesting and I learned some new things that I previously did not know.  I think this second half of the spring semester is going to be my favorite for this class.  I'm excited!

So on Tuesday in class all I can honestly remember talking about is God.  I do not even remember what about exactly.  Then on Thursday we had to take our mid term.  Our mid term was an essay test.  We had five essays to study from and then our actual test was three fo them.  There isn't much to blog about for this week.  So yeah, have a great mid term break yall!
