Anders signs in for Classics, covered in creamed corn and looking significantly irritated.

Anders gets up and gives a totally handwaved, stupid work presentation of his translation of the passage about Lycaon being turned into a wolf. He stumbles quite a bit over the words as he reads, although how much of that is due to actual difficulty and how much is due to the fact that he's covered in creamed corn is pretty hard to determine.

John gives an obviously ill-prepared presentation of a decently well translated story.

Which story did you pick?

Re: Foreign Lit, 4/13

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had chosen "the story of the husband and the parrot".

Her paragraph was filled with condemnation for a guy who would believe a parrot over his own wife, then kill the parrot, then kill his wife and his wife's lover, then grieve only the parrot.

It also has a comment that a parrot would make a terrible spy as it would be so easy to trick and would report information to anyone, being that it is a parrot.

After class, 4/13

The professor has a few moments, if you need him.
