Damn
Got a 76% on my Middle Egyptian midterm.
The confidence has been shot to hell.
I want to go home. -
I share your befuddlement, Bakura
Finally, all of the papers are written. I think quite a few of them are crap, but they are written. Hopefully after some sleep tonight (ha, ha, like that'll happen) I'll be refreshed enough to edit them thoughtfully, and not just skim over them and think, "Eh, they're fine" simply because of how tired I am. I missed my goal of having all of them ( Read more... ) -
Life's treasures
I find it utterly amazing how over twenty hours of work can result in such an... unassuming, unimpressive ten and a half page paper. *With* footnotes and double spacing. I barely squeaked it out ( Read more... ) -
Hand me a knife
Got up at 9:30am.
Started working on research paper about 10:30.
Have stopped for a total of three and a half hours, intermittent, since then. It is now 1:00am.

One paper down, four more to go by Dec 11.
....... just had someone ask me if Tony was 'bad sick.' Is there a kind of 'good sick' that I'm not aware of? *ponders* -
Ancient Egypt, meet Vulcan
A noteworthy phrase in Middle Egyptian:
Ankhu, wedjau, senbu. ~~~ "May he live long, prosper, and be healthy."
I wonder if Spock ran across this in his studies? ^_~ -

Holiday Spirit
There is the most annoying classmate in my Egyptian Art and Archaeology class. For the entire semester she has arrived to class late, insists on weaving through those of us seated in the front to get to the back, rummages through her bag and plastic bags, making as much noise as she can, and regails us all with questions and anecdotes that have ( Read more... )
