Buggin' you - where buggin' is lovin'

First - a bonus in this weeks Montague Reporter includes both Gill's and Montague's police logs. I think I like this one from Gill the best:

11/12 - 11:02 p.m. Loose cow on West Gill Road. Contacted owners to remove same.

Just because a cow wants to get out and have a little fun on a Saturday night, does that mean she's "loose"?

Second, to bug ya'll back about buggin me about my light school load .... darlings, this is art we're talking about here. You can't rush it! You must free your schedule to free your mind! And, well, neener, neener, neener.

I forgot to mention that I will likely also audit this class, and maybe get some independent study credits for it at some point, if I do something creative with it.

491A-L1 Neruda in Translation 55756
Instructor: M. Espada M 4:00 – 6:30 pm
Same as Latin-Am 491A. This is an introduction, in English translation, to the man considered by many to be the greatest Latin American poet of the 20th century. The poetry of Neruda is marked by a series of aesthetic and political metamorphoses, and the course is organized around the enormous diversity of the work: the early love poems, surrealism, the political poems, brought on by Neruda’s experience with the Spanish Civil War, the sweeping historical works best represented by his masterpiece, The Heights of Macchu Picchu, the humorous odes, the nature poems, and so on. The life of Neruda was also characterized by dramatic change, likewise charted throughout the course: from his career as a diplomat to his bitter years as a hunted political exile, from his acknowledgment as Nobel Laureate to his isolated death in the wake of the 1973 coup in Chile. Neruda was a witness to history, and special attention will be devoted to that history, particularly in terms of the Spanish Civil War and the Chilean coup. The course will also focus on the process of translation, and students will be encouraged to compare translations with one another, as well as against the original text. Students in this Honors course are required to write several papers, with an optional class presentation.
