Drinks to get you started in the morning
Religions ranked by age
Chord progression
Knights of the Round Table
Ways to spend Sunday afternoon
Faked happiness
Studying abroad
1. Tea
2. Ummmm... of the major ones... Shintoism? Then Hinduism... Judaism... Christianity... Buddhism... Islam, Sikhism... that's my guess. Dunno when Jainism comes in. And I refuse to list Mormonism.
3. no clue at all
4. I should totally teach the Medieval period by teaching Arthurian legend. But we don't, and kids barely know any of them. Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, Sir Gawain, Sir Percival, Sir Kay, Sir Gareth, Sir Gaheris, Sir Agravaine, Sir Bors, Sir Tristan, Sir Lamorak, and Sir Bedivere. Yeah, I looked about the last half of this lot up.
5. On a good Sunday afternoon, cooking, reading, playing a computer game, reading and relaxing. On a bad Sunday afternoon, stressed and blue about the inexorable approach of the work week.
6. Ugh
7. The time of my life -- hella fun. I didn't do much actual studying in England, though. I never went to a single lecture. I attended my Modern European Mind (i.e. Feuerbach and Hegel and Marx and Engels and Luxemburg) tutorials and my French classes and some of the linguistics tutorials. But I never turned a single piece of work in -- essays, mostly. I felt relatively ill-educated compared to the undergrad Brits I knew, which was galling. And I was much more busy with leftist hyper activism and my first major adult relationship to care about classes at all. Only link to this icon: I did get to hear Bernadette speak that year, in Brighton.
