I am excited to reread the stories of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, I read them in the past for a humanities class. There are so many lessons and ways to think of things hidden in these stories, some are hidden so deep in takes many readings to eventually discover. 

I was surprised to find that the character Puss in Boots from Shrek, is loosely based on a real-world story character told in Lang 1. Weeks 7 & 9 will be interesting as I expressed my earlier fascination of Japanese History and Culture.
"Puss in Boots" from European Stories

My first car purchase out of college will hopefully be a sixty two or sixty three Lincoln Continental. As of current...

He forced all his people to work on the vault, even the architect was forced into manual labor! The architect was angered by this and installed a secret passage right to the heart of the vault.
