More on books

I wanted to check off some of the books on my list:

Wuthering Heights
Medea
Oedipus
Faust
Iliad/Odyssey
Recognition of Sakuntala
1984
Hamlet/ King Lear/ Othello
Pippi Longstocking
The Aeneid
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

All of these were great reads.

I tried to read Moby Dick a while back, but it was a no-go. Maybe I'll try again at a later date. For now, I'll probably stick to something shorter.

Love,

A Long Time

So I haven't shopped at Wal-Mart yet. BUT I did enter one. It was traumatizing.

I was meeting my mother so that she could give me my graduation present, and she had to run in to "get a few things" and insisted that I go with her. I told her that it was like dragging a recently clean druggie out of rehab and back into a crack-den. She thought that this was hilarious. I just wanted to inhale all of the dirt cheap merchandise.

But I'm glad I went in. It only reaffirmed how very wrong I think Wal-Mart really is.
"I've got my shampoo, now I need some cleaning products. Oh, and here is a lovely display of cookies. I'll get those too. And dog food. And I also want to look at the DVDs..." And all at ridiculously low prices so that you KNOW that a five year old in an underdeveloped country (or China) made it especially for you.

So that is my story.

I also got into Grad School; I'm going to Rutgers University! Hooray!

Love,

School and Coffee

They go together. So I've also been trying to shop at the local coffee shops as well. So far no Starbucks. Although I am drinking the coffee from the school's library coffee shop. I guess thats not as good as a place like the real local place, which is fair trade and all, but still better.

And still no Wal-Mart.

Love,
Clellan
