My reading this week was a little bit larger in scale than Aesop's Fables last week - it was Homer's Iliad. I enjoyed reading it college, where I was not only reading the spark notes so that I could pass my high school English quiz. It was an exciting story, I was cheering for characters on both sides. The final show down between Hector and Achilles was even the inspiration for my writing this week. Since I was torn deciding who should win, and knew that I would be unhappy either way, I rewrote the story so that hector triumphed over Achilles. It is also now occurring to me that the fact that I was cheering on both sides may have been one of the points of the story. War is hell, and the winners are the ones who write the history books. I really enjoy when I'm reflecting back on a reading an something extra like that hits me, it's the sign of a great story.
As far as my other classes are concerned, the weekly grind of labs, assignments, and quizzes is in full swing. It makes for a stressful life, but I'm almost done with college. Something tells me I might miss it when it's gone. I haven't had any tests yet, but it's certainly time to start getting ready for them. If I procrastinate any longer, I'll practically (or literally) be cramming the night before my first test.
The career fair is also this week, so if any of you guys want to see me I'll be the guy in the navy suit frantically passing out resumes to anybody who will take them. If you look official enough and hold a clipboard, you might even get one yourself. Wish me luck, and thanks for reading this week.
