| The Sun (Duh) |
This morning we watched the sun rise on a mountain near where we live. We woke up at 5:30 AM and got to the top at around 7 AM. The total hike there and back was roughly 5.5 miles. The journey was one of the best experiences of my life. Climbing a mountain is an allegory of life. It's a difficult journey, but when you reach your goals the accomplishment is irreplaceable.
Yesterday was our first Greek class, which went really well due to our preparation and exposure to the Greek language. It is a pretty long walk to the building, however,which makes the AC a godsend once we reach it.

Last night I got to present a couple of George Steiner's works to the Electra class. I was a lot of fun, since I got to lead the class discussion and help people understand more about the nature of tragedy. This class is so much more than an analysis of the Greek myth of Electra-its really an interdisciplinary discussion on the metaphysics of the human condition. Anyone with any interest in philosophy would absolutely adore it.
We finished last night off with a community dinner and a lot of bad singing. It was a good time.
I will be back shortly with this day's accomplishments!
