Just Rushing Through
I'm cutting it close this morning. I didn't get a chance to blog last night because we underestimated our homework load. I finished all the homework, but didn't get a chance to tell you about yesterday.
So, quickly, here's the highlights:
We went to Mass at the Dom. That was educational. The boy's choir sang beautifully, and it was impressive to see the church in it's functional form, but I felt very much like the people of the middle ages must have: lost, confused, and slightly overwhelmed. Like the people of the middle ages, whose priests spoke latin, I had no clue what these priests were telling me. They spoke German, and aside from catching on to a couple of scriptures (like the Lord's Prayer), I was at a bit of a loss.
Still, it was an interesting service. I've read about most of the things we saw in it before, but it was different to see them firsthand. I wanted to murder the guy next to me snapping pictures.
I finished the Tin Drum that afternoon. Voltaire's Candide is next, along with a short story or three.
Now I've really got to go. I have to cook up pancakes for breakfast since we're out of cereal.
