Today was officially the longest day of classes since beginning the year here at Washington College. The film class continued all the way up to 5:00pm, after over two hours of The Grapes of Wrath. You would have thought that watching the film would have been more enjoyable than reading the book. True, some depressing characters were left out along with a couple of deaths, including that of a baby, and it took less time then reading the book. However, at least whilst I was reading, I could picture the story in colour. The only thing more soul-destroying then watching over two hours of continual depressiveness, is viewing it in black and white, or more accurately, grey. The grey numbness of utter boredom that more than once caused me to dose off.
Aside from the return of the Wrath, the rest of the day's classes passed quickly enough and I began on some initial thoughts and ideas for the next essay, which needs to be written this week. I also caught up on the new Modern Family episode and chilled out at KC for the evening after dinner.
