Week 2, and still no one is suspicious

12 noon, ancient mythological epic. Discussing the love stories in Ovid's Metamorphoses, I told them, "Ovid is no stranger to love."

1pm, comic theatre. There is a translation class coming up, and I was asked by a student how much translation she had to prepare for the next session. I said "A full commitment's what I'm thinking of, so how about down to line 180?"

4pm, skills class in effective groupwork. I began by dividing the class into teams and holding a short trivia quiz, in order to demonstrate a couple of basic points; I started the quiz by saying "We know the game and we're going to play it."
