February 21.
no more snow: a sun came out so strong but that is reflected on roads coated with snow and gives the campus an intense, almost blinding. I see some students wearing dark glasses, and I think mine, abandoned on a shelf in my room, by - I believe - in September.
Sigh. I hope the cold give me respite before: yesterday I felt the chilling (In the true sense of the word) the experience of hearing the ears and nose hurt for a prinicipio hibernation - I and my sock idea of seeing the eclipse of the Moon ..
My students were good as usual - lesson fun, we laughed a lot and discussed comparisons and preferences, given the ease of comparative Italian, we dwelt unlikely to invent adjectives to create funny comparisons, and 48 minutes are incredible pace.
At 11.30, History of Witchcraft: nice lesson on the debates about the validity or otherwise of the evidence of witchcraft in the process (my two hours of sleep contributed to the low level of attention), and then ... Then I arrived four ancient volumes, editions of 1456 onwards: the cureatore the library showed them carefully, and you could touch them, examine them and turn the pages. Excited and frightened as a virgin to the first experience of love, I put my hands on a "Malleus Maleficarum" of 500 and I checked the notes bell'inchiostro old, the opening words, the header, the writing dense and incomprehensible ... God, I think I could live by analyzing ancient texts! At 2:30
lecture on Petrarch and Boccaccio, there is an air of preparation for the show tomorrow - instead of mid-term exam, we do a show in which we recite several poems taken from Petrarch's Canzoniere in front of a large audience - and a kind of expectation that makes discussions about female characters of the seventh day of the Decameron very lively! After the 'Porcellato' bawdy, I relax in the office and take an hour lesson in cinema - today we talk about the second "Golden Age" of Hollywood as the '70s.
What's in the 70s??
What masterpiece was created in 1977??
STAR WARS!
The teacher said proudly that he still has the Leia doll with 'donuts on the ears'! I almost moved - all know Star Wars in the States, is beautiful: ')
After class, I met Nathan by Wendy - we dealt with the subjunctive, and we have come out unscathed, which is commendable (I have seen many brave men fall under the blows Hound of the subjunctive). After a quick coffee at Buckeye Donuts - probably the most characteristic of all local Columbus - Nathan took me home. Some may find it strange that the guy that do 'reps take me home ... but not if you consider that in the meantime ...
I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT'S snowing AGAIN!
He started to snow heavily. All
again white, and compact - and freezing cold.
have a nerve!
Now, an episode of CSI NY - I developed an insane passion for the Mac, Stella &
company ... Then a little 'Manzoni hated reading and napping - I hope I can sleep.
A dock at Grappa, I know it's somewhere and purrs =)
A big hug to all friends and friends - including mom and dad!
