gloriachristmas, I LOVED The Secret History! It was such a good book, sort of disturbing but also terribly funny in the darkest way possible. My Latin class this year is based around Comparative Lit studies, so we compared it to Daphne and Apollo in Latin and The Bacchae in Greek and it just made it all the more epic. I even bought my whole Latin class Secret History related gifts for the holidays, haha. When you read it, please tell me what you think!

As for Barnard Alumnae, my favorite is definitely Twyla Tharp. I’ve seen a few of her choreographed shows, and her work is incredible. Movin’ Out was the last show I saw choreographed by her and it was breathtaking, especially all the ballet/pointe work. For a show that told its story without actual dialogue–it was great. I hope I can dance like she does one day!
