more class stuff, yes

First day of classes went well -- but then, I'm very fond of syllabuses in general.

Doing some of the reading for next seminar this evening, I discovered I am apparently madly in love with one of our books -- Medieval Russia: a Sourcebook, 850-1700 -- because oh my *god*, coolest thing ever. Primary Chronicle, wheee!

In the little introductory lecture in class today, every time we mentioned the steppe I thought of barbarian_qulan and every time we mentioned Central Asian bits of the former empire I thought of linabean. I wonder if that will continue through the quarter.

Tomorrow: first day of language portion, yay! With a crazy new alphabet to learn, hmm.

Primary Chronicle RULZZ!!!1!

Err. It's 1 in the morning. I use this as my excuse for the above. Even if the above is COMPLETELY TRUE.
