You May Laugh...

Last week I finished my exams for Quarter Three. I barely survived. :) Learning the stuff is so much more enjoyable than studying and memorizing the stuff. My Theology test asked the most obscure questions...

Now I am starting Quarter Four. For the first time, History and Literature are sharing a book-- The Great Diolouges of Plato. The Republic is for History and other dialogues for literature.

This morning I got started on reading History. It is infinitely more interesting than Thucydides, and doesn't hop around like Herodotus. But it is insane. I have no idea how I am going to survive another nine weeks of this. Look at this quote from my work today:

"So then in general, in the use of each justice is useless, but in their uselessness useful?"

SAY WHAT?!

Edit: I have since figured out what that sentance means, and I now proclaim to all the world that Plato is rather cool. Socrates (he's the character in Plato, long story) has a delightful habit of turning everything upside down and inside out-- and I get to do that to him in some of my essays. :)
