Languages, 10/26

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

To his Classics students, Dream delivers a lecture on Koine Greek. After he is done, he puts forward a question for discussion: What were the benefits of Koine as an international language? Are international languages still valuable?

For his Languages of Asia students, he passes out calligraphy paper, pens, and a primer on Chinese writing. Work on understanding why Chinese is written as it is written, and on copying the characters showin in the handout. Next week, you will move into writing with understanding.

Again, there are no classes on Friday. I will see you all on Monday.

"Yeah, sure, any time. Just don't touch it unless you want an unplanned trip. I guess that's what happens when Bridge gets his spare parts on campus." He doodles a little bit in his notebook and adds, "Nothing really fancy. Just a goal and some freestanding panels for the edges of the court. But they've gotta be sturdy."

"No touching the gumball machine door lock. Gotcha."

"Hmm. There's a junkyard in town where you may be able to get spare parts, if you're looking to throw something together."

"Yeah, I keep meaning to go down there and check it out, but I keep getting distracted . . ."

"It's a cool place. I found a classic motorcycle and a Jeep without an engine, so I've got my projects for the winter."

"Awesome." Anders makes a mental note to tell Bridge about the junkyard, since the poor guy looks so lost without a project on his hands. "I'll definitely try and check it out sometime this weekend. Thanks."

"You're welcome."
