Celtic Studies (04/10)

Camulus is wearing normal-people clothes today. And in no way so that he's actually wearing sleeves that cover his wrists. Nope, that has nothing to do with it. Now, Camulus in pants and Camulus out of the loop about the current state of incarceration of his students meant a grumpy Camulus. And grumpy Camulus meant a short, barky lecture on some of the tales of the Fianna, culminating in the announcement of a quiz on the Fenian cycle on Wednesday. And in the same growly tone, he informs the class that instead of studying the Tain Bo Cuilagne, the final portion of the course will be on Scottish folklore and poetry, including both the bardic and more modern forms. Which meant that even more books were hitting desks, and if one were very lucky one's text was only missing a few pages or only slightly nibbled on by mimoths.

[[The exam madness comes upon me. Will have the actual poems up for the specific class, I'll stick them under a cut and I will be using English translations, lucky you.]]

Macbeth didn't have a question, per se.

If fact, he didn't have much of anything coherent to say.

But he might very well have leapt from his desk with a cheer when it was announced that they would be dropping that Irish nonsense and would be focusing on some good, sturdy, noble Scottish folklore again.

...

And then he cleared his throat and took his seat again.

Camulus raised an eyebrow.

"Your enthusiasm is appreciated, Mr. Macbeth," he murmured dryly. "I hope your attendance will similarly improve."
