from my italian composition, in which I use the subjuctive:
"...Anche a Yale, voglio che qualcuno offra un corso sul Vico nel semester prossimo."
[trans. "And at Yale, I want someone to offer a course on Vico next semester."]

my TA's response:
"! c'e' un corso questo semestre, ma e' graduate. lui e' molto affascinante!"
["! there's a course this semester, but it's a graduate course. he's very fascinating!"]


I throw a fit and look up the course that I'm not taking this semester because it never occured to me to look at the graduate courses. (!!!) To my dismay, it turns out that it is taught by no other than my rather brilliant Dante professor from last semester who has, coincidentally, also taught the following TASP seminars:

1983
Cornell I: Representations in Literature and the Visual Arts.
Faculty: Giuseppe Mazzotta and Esther Dotson, Cornell University.

1981
Cornell I: The Ways of Narrative--From Classical to Modern Fiction.
Faculty: W.R. Johnson and Giuseppe Mazzotta, Cornell University.


My negligence is a crime.

And where are the pictures and anecdotes from the austin reunions?


Miss you all--
