Jesus Was Not a Communist, Contrary to the Belief of My European Lit Teacher

To be brief, I'll quote:

"Yeah, Jesus was probably a Communist."

You don't make any sense, sir.

Today I had my first experience in Ethics/Value Theory. The teacher has a voice that's soothing like Anthony Hopkins. He has never taught American students before, and he was very nervous about it. I thought he did very well. Of course the class is obnoxious in the way that only Emerson could be, but it will be easy to pass if I can pay attention for four-hours each week.

THEN... I had European Lit again. And he said it. He said that Jesus was a Communist. I am confused.

Scott and I booked our entire trip to Austria. We're thrilled with the outcome. We reserved tickets for both the Original Sound of Music Tour and an overnight stay in Salzburg, Austria, the location of both the real-life-events and the film. The four is four hours. From that tour we will run to the train station to catch a train to Vienna for two days, and then we will hightail it back to the Netherlands. It should be beautiful. The hotel we booked in Salzburg overlooks the city. You can see pictures and descriptions of it here. We booked the last private double-bed room. All right.

(Vienna -- we will mosey through the city the whole day and leave mid-afternoon to arrive in the Netherlands early morning the day of classes. Welcome to train-sleeping.)

I'm so excited.

Good night, NYC. Safest of dreams.
