Going to Lancaster

Last Thursday I went to South Lancaster, Massachusetts to visit the Adventist Book Center.  There was a sale of books, music, and vegetarian foods.  My family got a lot of food to stock up since we are all vegetarians.  I looked at the books, but I didn't get any.  I don't think that many books from Adventist publishing companies are worth reading.  That's because there aren't many good authors these days.  The better books are usually those written before the 1980s.  Those are good stories of missionaries and early Adventist pioneers.
I went to my alma mater to get a new diploma, since I lost my original one when I was in Korea. I moved a few times and I ended up losing it somehow, along with my alien card. I was upset.
Mindy the cat came along for the ride.  She was a good girl and sat in the back seat without any trouble. I didn't want to leave her at home.  She sat beside me or on my lap and was very quiet.
We went to a grocery store and got lots of food. I decided to get lasagna noodles and an eggplant to make lasagna.  We made it a few days ago and it was good.  We also added spinach to it.

Lasagne with eggplant. Never thought of it, but it sounds like such an excellent idea! Will have to try it sometime.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
