First Ethics class was interesting. Sort of. I think I'll enjoy it.
But I had English before it. And my teacher is just plain awesome. He speaks Old/Middle English, and his teacher was taught by Tolkien. Which I think is just plain cool. Overall, Bonin's a pretty neat guy, and that class is going to be fun.
He told us this little bit of information today when translating some English from about 450 AD. He had put some runes on the board and someone mentioned they looked like something out of The Lord of the Rings. So he mentioned that the Jesuit who taught him had studied at Oxford under Tolkien.
Needless to say, I was impressed. Though many were probably taught by Tolkien, that fact doesn't diminish the neat-o factor.
And Old English sounds really cool.
