Reading

Today I start the difficult task of reading Friedrich Dürrenmatt's Der Besuch der alten Dame, which is plainly called The Visit in English.  My assignment is to read the first fifty pages over break, and frankly  I don't know if I'll get past the first ten with the excessive translating that will need to be done.  Only kidding.  I bought my own book for the sole purpose of being able to highlight and write translations all of the pages.  On the cover it says, "Tragische Komödie Diogenes."  I'm going to hope I know what that means, because if not, and I don't even understand the cover, I think I'll just give up right now and not even open the book.  In all seriousness, I'm going to try my best to read it, even though I'm not technically being required to do so, but I don't want to be clueless in the class for the next two months.  You can expect me to be reading, highlighting, and translating on the plane to and from Spain and in the final week of break.

Liebe,
