Daydreaming About the Classics

All kidding aside, the second photo gives me the impression that Bellevue doesn't care about learning because of the woman in the picture doesn't really seem to care, while the picture from St. Johns seems to convey a young lady very much in thought.

I'll have to agree with JamesK on this. I find bliss in learning so the first picture really speaks to me.

 

The first kid studied CS and is wondering if she will get a job that can pay her student loan interest.

The other kid took an ebay class and is selling a laptop and a car.

Sorry, JoAnn. I couldn't resist.

 

Actually, it was MY bliss I had in mind...and the first chick just don't cut it for me.

 

Hmmm....

In the picture...

-qvatlanta sees bliss

-TCord1964 sees fun

-JoAnnP38 sees frivolity

-Bruce surely sees moving violations

For me it's more a memory jog.

 

That's really funny. ->

I applied to CSU-DH for the same reasons. I love humanities. I was accepted but have not found the timem to take any classes yet...and I don't know if I ever will

 

Excellent classics resources posted by Ted and Gregg. If there's more to add, perhaps this thread could be a resource in this category (unless, of course, it's already been done...).

For my own $.02, I can add the Perseus Digital Library at Tufts University, about as extensive a source as one will find online. Especially if someone is studying Classics at a distance and lives an a relatively remote location, this could be of tremendous help in putting papers together.

The Sacred Texts archive also has a classics section, as well as an incredible wealth of other information.

PS: Even if you don't study it formally, it's always worth studying personally. As Twain said, "Never let school get in the way of your education."

 

I'd almost prefer a sharp stick in the eye, rather than doing traffic enforcement. I'm usually too busy with radio calls to worry about it anyway, but I've found that one written warning (no $$$ fine) per shift keeps me off the radar screen of the brass.
