Well, everybody, I’ve survived Law and Classics relatively unscathed, and I’m back to give you the rundown of my remaining courses this semester: Classics 110 (Classical Mythology Through Tragedy), European 100 (Europe and the World), and Art History 109...
Well, the first semester is well and truly done and dusted. Time to box up those memories and lessons learned and file them away in the recesses of the mind in preparation for round two. In the meantime, here’s what’s been occupying my mind – and my time –...
