“I Dreamed a Dream” (from Les Mis) is an awesome song. Wow. I reviewed that German stuff I memorized yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to find that I remembered it all without any problem. Very nice.

Well, I took my Book of Mormon final today (I got 91% on the multiple choice part, which is fine with me), so I only have two left. I’ve spent all afternoon and evening studying for my Comparative Literature final. At first I didn’t want to, mainly because the 4,500-page mass was terribly intimidating, but once I started upon the task it wasn’t very hard, and I even found it enjoyable. The books are like old friends now.

The hard thing, however, is keeping myself from diving into German. I checked out a few more books from the library today on it. Just one more day, Ben, one more day. After tomorrow I’ll be able to study German to my heart’s content. I have a job interview tomorrow morning. And on Wednesday I need to start on the graphics for the BYU-UUG site (my logo #4 got the most votes and so it’ll be the new logo for the site).

I find it interesting that German separates the idea of obligation (sollen) and necessity (müssen). I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise — after all, English does it (should/must) — but Latin uses the future passive periphrastic for both and so I’ve gotten used to seeing them together.
