"Good day, class. I'm pleased to see that you all survived the break and the tender tutelage of my TA. Today is the day that I assign you lots and lots of reading because ~~the mun has to brush up on her Welsh myth~~ I've decided to back up to the roots of things and study the Mabinogion. We've already looked at Culhwch and Olwen, and we'll pass over the Mabinogi, leaving us with 'The Dream of Maxen', 'Lludd and Lleyws', and 'The Dream of Rhonabwy', as well as the three so-called Arthurian romances, 'Owein and the Countess of the Fountain', 'Peredur', and 'Gereint and Enid'." He frowned down at his notes for a moment. "Actually, scratch 'The Dream of Maxen' and 'Lludd and Llefys'. They aren't relevant to the course. But I encourage you to read them anyway." He moved around the room distributing books. "I understand that Phoebe in her infinite wisdom had given you an assignment due on Thursday, so I will not assign any reading for you until then, but I encourage to look over the tales and read the introduction.

"Now, that's out of the way. For the rest of class, I want each and every one of you to tell me a story. But I want your story to be entitled, "Over Spring Break I Sought the Holy Grail". Tell me who you went with, where you looked, how many of you ended up in jail, if you found it, any details you want to throw in."

[[Cammie-mun is wrestling with the dreaded Beast of ~~Aaaaagh~~ Migraine. Ergo, short lesson. And not in haiku. Sadly. I've only given summaries of the stories, so if you want to read them in all their Lady Guest-translated glory, go here]]
