Celtic Literature and Civilisation for Friday.
[[Posted early because I have exams almost all day, and at some unspecified point today I'm packing up my laptop and router to go home! *capers* If there's anything you desperately need to know, we can slowplay it out on Sunday.]]
"Almost done," Camulus says grimly. "Short lecture today, then we'll get your exam review out of the way and I'm offto get blue blind paralytic drunk for the weekend." For the third time, he begins a review of the Tain Bo, noting important names and places, doing his translations, and once degenerating into a long anecdote involving two of his minor system lords and an amusingly shaped fruit, and remembering the proper place of most of the 'h's this time. He glances at the clock and finishes in a rush: ". . . and that's why you may be unfortunate enough to live in Cow Testicle Creek. They all either lived happily ever after or were killed over the friendliness of Medb's thighs. The end." Which is in no way the end of the mun's exam essay on the same topic.
"Exam review!" He seems to be relishing this. "Your exam is on Monday. Four parts. First part is multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank. For this you need to know basic terms - La Tene, for example - people, places, family relationships. Example question - "Who was the king of Connacht during the events of the Tain Bo?". Next section will be short answer, things like, "Who was Scathadh and why is she important?" Third part is to retell a story and you'll be given a choice as to which. Then finally you have a single essay not *seven* like the mun's crazy prof for which you'll have a choice between a few topics.
"And before you go, Tain Bo summaries on my desk."
