2/18: chance encounter

I was on campus for a meeting and then dinner this evening, and after leaving the cafeteria I crossed paths with a great student from my Myth class last year.  We didn't really pause to talk, but she did say in passing that she had recently pulled her copy of Ovid's Metamorphoses off the shelf to read a bit of it.  She's not a Classics major or minor, so it really made me smile to learn that she both kept the book (rather than sell it back to the bookstore at the end of the semester) and read it when she didn't at all have to!
