Honors Philosophy and Medieval Philosophy. Had I stayed an English Major I might have done a lot more, but changed to Geography and Planning and had to finish everything in the two years of financial aid I had remaining, so didn't have time to enjoy more.

Medieval was cool. We had a coloring book of illuminated letters, and had to turn one in for our grade. The prof (still) has them covering the walls of his office. I approached the angels dancing on the head of a pin from a different angle than most ... rather than focusing primarily on the number of angels, I determined the length of time that it would occupy as well as determining what dances medieval angels would do, and where you would put the band. I was in the Musica Antiqua at the time. It was a natural illogical progression, you see.

The prof had never heard the Philosophers Song. So one day the entire Honors class serenaded him back to his office. He was a bit odd, so it was hard to tell if he was amused or horrified. I don't THINK that was the same day we bought a couple bags of Tootsie Pops and attempted to determine how many licks it took to get to the center ...
