class class class

Today was filled with class and was therefore rather uneventful. It seems like we've hit the point in the quarter where everyone is pretty tired, so we had 6 out of 11 people show up for class at the beginning, and there were only 4 who came to the beginning of the other class. We got more time to read though, so I wasn't complaining about the class size haha. I had a pastry during our break from the cafe downstairs, and now I'm tempted to do that every day; it was cheese-filled and covered in sesame seeds, and was overall hot and delicious.
Later, we had a class on ancient Greek drama. It turns out that it was pretty much a civil requirement for all citizens (aka men, since women weren't considered citizens) to attend plays at a festival celebrating the god Dionysus, the god of wine and (sometimes unrestrained) revelry. Also, in today's currency, the plays cost about 200 euros. ($270 US). They wanted people to come so much that they had a fund to subsidize the cost for poorer citizens, which is pretty sweet.
Then, we had Greek-Albanian class, which, true to it's name, has been alternating every day between Greek history and Albanian history which is kind of confusing. We've reached World War II though, and our professor talked about how all sorts of new research and information has been published recently (as in the last few years up to within the last few weeks) on this time period, and the Holocaust in particular. His enthusiasm was neat, although today was not anything near a slow-talking day.
I made another Carrefour run and bought a new pair of headphones since my old ones broke. Skullcandies they are not, but since they only cost 3 euros, I'm OK with that; they actually stay in my ears better and I hear the sound of rushing wind if I run into the wind haha.
I also learned that you shouldn't go to dinner right before the cafeteria closes because dinner was not good; I had two bowls of tomatoes and a piece of bread. Those tasted good, though, and since I went to the store I have lots of almonds again so I'm good to go :)
