In which the Communist Monkey makes a reappearance

Well. I survived yet another semester from hell. And, mirabile dictu, I didn't bomb the Greek exam. Though it sure felt like it at the time. I love having my neurotic predictions of ominous outcomes disproved. Although I think that perhaps I beat myself up about Greek and Latin more than is strictly necessary. What can I say?

Not bad. At this rate you really will hit 10 before you graduate. Good for you. I'm jealous.

Gracias. Number ten is yet to be determined. I'm thinking of teaching myself Italian since it is but a bastardised form of Latin. Or is that a cop-out? We'll see.

I vote that you take the next two years off and travel through Europe, working odd jobs and learning languages. Then we can begin grad school together. Such fun!

Your efforts inspire me, my dear,oh how you put my endeavors to shame. My Japanese studies have including me taking the book off the shelf...and that's as far as I've gotten *sigh* I'm still in "rebel against critical thinking" mode.

I'll be reviewing the languages of the orient, studying biblical classics (summer english course XD), reviewing the thing that is pharmaceutical generic and trade names, and finally, but not in any way the least, snuggling with philosophy (although I doubt the UD phil dept can hold a candle to RU). And now...off to pack *smirk*

You list is exhaustive, me darlin' Epiphany. No cause for shame there.
Hey, we can practise our German on each other when I get back! (I'm back in July, so we can plan Maryland for any weekend after that...)

Hee. That ought to come in handy with some yummy Germanic boy. ;-)

Sounds dirty.

moonlight_quill May 26 2005, 19:08:53 UTC

Only because it is.

Du bist so schmutzig = You are so dirty.

Apply suggestive intonations to taste, and voila. A masterpiece of a good mind gone bad.
