This week went over really fast - I can't believe it's already Saturday!
Well... at least February is halfway over now as well. :D
Monday was a great schoolday - We had all the subjects I like (Spanish, Politics, History and Ethics) and I think I covered about 75 percent of oral participation in all classes. :P
Hopefully I can keep up that level for the next months. :)
After school only took place on one day of last week, this week it was not canceled at all. Some people here complain about that because it would be too dangerous, but I think that's exaggerated. The week before we had black ice, so canceled school was justified. But this week it was only snow. ;)

On Wednesday I was at the city library to look for some books for my composition in Politics.
When I went through the aisles in the history section, I thought it would be a good idea to do a sort-of journey through the past 2500 years of European (and later also American) history, beginning with the Roman Empire. So I'm going get some books from the school library or city library about it and improve my history knowledge. I'm very interested in history and I'm sure it is helpful and important in order to understand the world we have now.
Hmm... there's not much left to tell you...
This afternoon I did some errands for mum and noticed there are a lot of tourists here.
Probably they're all city slickers who are irritated by the carnival parties in West and South Germany. :P
I was offered a blowjob. I think.

Why only start with the Romans. I would at least go back to the Greeks.
I did like "The Classical World: An Epic History of Greece and Rome" by Robin Lane Fox. It is quite big though.
Ich fürchte, Urs hat recht, die Römer haben, zumindest was Philosophie, Literatur, Bildende Kunst und Wissenschaft angeht, komplett auf den Griechen aufgebaut und wirklich eigenständig waren sie wohl nur im Technischen, teilweise in der Architektur, sicher im Staatlich-Rechtlichen.
Hmm, I used to think that the Romans copied most of their culture from the Greeks, so I thought the Greeks were negligible.
However, now that you two say it, I think I willl include the Greeks into my canon of historical education. Thanks. :)
Nein, das wäre etwas zu kurz gedacht, Entschuldigung, man sollte doch versuchen, an den Ursprung heranzukommen (die Römer wären vergleichsweise "Convenience Food"), und oft hat man tatsächlich den Eindruck, die folgenden etwas mehr als 2000 Jahre waren nicht viel mehr als Variationen etwa über Plato, Heraklit oder Aristoteles.
