Reading period is aptly named

I spent most of today reading Greek history. Greek history is sort of like the Stephen Jay Gould theory of evolution – really exciting at some parts, and really, amazingly boring at other parts. Or maybe that’s just how my history book is written.

So, a Thanksgiving story because I have nothing else to write about. Last Saturday, I decided to be really organized and get the Legal Reasoning reading done; it was also 2 AM and I couldn’t sleep. So, I started reading death penalty cases. Now, the cases themselves were fairly straight forward. However, they also involved extremely detailed descriptions of the criminals murdering their victims. So, I’m sitting in my room in my basement and I hear a creak. And then… another creak. I get really scared, lock my door, go into the bathroom, lock the bathroom door, and finish reading in the bathroom. I felt pretty silly locking two doors. I guess I managed to freak myself out pretty well.
