<p>That statement is a joke that one can buy printed on a t-shirt. It is often quoted around mid-terms and finals. Yes Chicago is demanding, and there is an intellectual emphasis, but that IS part of the fun for those who choose to attend. S has had a great time socially as well as academically, and has made many many new friends. Even with that and his love of the school, he will write that his Hum class is “stealing his life.” But more important, it is this heretofore science oriented guy’s favorite course. He particularly thought the recent Homer marathon was great. Here classics faculty join together to read aloud the Iliad and the Odyssey, in both English and ancient Greek (I believe) over about a 14 hour period. I believe they call it a “Homerathon” for short. Now who could stand more fun than that! </p>
<p>Plus they just got a mid-winter break last friday with no scheduled classes. It has affectionately come to be called, suicide prevention day.</p>
<p>And, how’s this for maxed out fun:</p>
