The First Blog Post!

Well, instead of starting this blog out with "So, there was this Plato guy..." I've decided to start out with an introductory post explaining what this blog is going to be for. Basically, it's the most non-serious Classical Studies blog... ever?? I'm not sure. At any rate, I'm going to try to keep things pretty upbeat. HOWEVER, I would very strongly suggest keeping children away from this blog, as it's going to be pretty adult oriented. That means no using this as a research tool for your 5th grader's mythology project. That's not how we roll here, even if I do post up a review of something that is geared toward children.

Speaking of reviews, I might as well lay out how this blog is going to work. I am a very busy college senior with a very heavy case of senioritis. This blog won't be updated every day. Instead, I'm going to have certain days at which I update with certain features. So far, I have...

• Picture of the Week! (Sundays)-- I'll post up some horribly obscene/interesting piece of ancient artwork and comment on it. Also, it may not necessarily be "ancient;" it may only pertain to the Ancients, but if that's the case, I probably won't include anything on here that was created within the last 50 years or so.
  
• Writer of the Week! (Mondays)-- I swear I'll make this day more interesting than it's going to sound here. On Mondays, I'll be writing on some ancient author that I think everyone needs to look into.
  
• Modern Adaptation of the Week! (Wednesdays)-- I'll write some review of a modern work (within the past 100 years? Yeah, I'll go with that, for now) that pertains to Classics.
• Story of the Week! (Fridays)-- Ahaha, this is where I sit down and tell you all a little story about those dead old Mediterranean men. My way. Which means that you're all in for something between disaster and a roller coaster ride of daring doom and defeat. Something like that, anyway....

See how that's going to work? Now, if I have anything else I want to write about, I'll include it, so don't assume that I'm ONLY going to review on Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri. However, I'll make an effort to most definitely blog on those days.

So, now that I've probably scared you away from my blog, what with all that EDUCATION, I'll also warn that this is probably going to be less educational than it sounds. I believe in using humor as an educational tool, so there we go.

... I feel like I need to do some stand-up comedy just to show you guys that I really am funny. Oh well. I'll probably put up my first post on Monday. See you then!
