Academia

Academia,

Coming from Plato's Academy after the death of Socrates,

I am to study the history of Alexander the Great, or have I already looked over him and onto the next great leader Cleopatra?,

No, no, I am mistaken, we are comparing the feats of Odysseus, Hercules, and the story of the Aenid that tells of Rome's future...

Despues de class de historia, I'll get to tell the girl behind me that I have blonde hair and am an activo person, my mix of español and ingles turns heads of course. All these questions, unas preguntas señora, be paciente we have only just met. All I'm missing are the accents.

Lastly I get to study Australopithicus Afarensis, and Homo Habilis more closely before my professor moves on, in excitement through one homind species to the next, arriving at Neanderthals. He holds up the skulls to show us all the differences, like an eager child presenting something he's made in art class.

I smile and nod, through all the classes, finally getting to my car at the performing arts center. Bookbag in the car, then me. Seatbelt and then I'm home bound until noon Tuesday.
