I have to confess that despite being a drama / classics double major, I never liked the ancient plays; not reading them, nor performing them. And I just don't /get/ comedy, modern or ancient. But gosh... has this turned me around completely. It's brilliant! AncientBlueSky

First day of freshers' week.
The day went really well: lots of good conversations, and they are so with it! Biggest cohort in years.
Really looking forward to the year, but totally shattered at the moment. I have to get used to so many people again!
