Oh, gods, I suddenly want to drop the classics stuff and embrace Norse mythology. I could switch one class out, but I already bought the books! But Norse mythology! Which is apparently all over the Chronicles (as well as the Greek mythology!)! And I am really intrigued by some things! Like the Norse influence on British mythology and folklore! OH DEAR.*

Also I now really want to knit this blanket (Ravelry link).

*On the bright side, maybe that could be my senior thesis? Only I wanted more classics in my senior thesis!

Only tangential to your post, but...

Back in high school we had to read all of these passages out of the bible because "this stuff comes up all the time in literature!!1!". And I kept looking at the books I read and going, "um..." because it comes up a lot more rarely than mythology of various sorts.

Also, I avoid choosing my classes according to my writing interests because...well honestly, the ideas pop up anywhere. And I have enough trouble resisting writing fic of my Latin book without throwing in classes I know will give me *more* ideas. (classes I'm avoiding: history and government)

that blanket makes me want to learn to knit!

Okay. Once I've made a decent number of baby blankets, I may try that as an afghan. For it is gorgeous.
