I'm still loving it here, loving all the people and whatnot, but especially loving the dig. I get these crazy adrenaline highs and feel so elated while I'm doing hard labour. It's kind of crazy, but who cares when I love it so much. I crash a bit in the afternoon, but somehow I've yet to take a nap. I'm paranoid it will mess up my sleeping ( Read more... )

I just biked all the way home from school (except for taking the stairs at Casa Loma, as usual) and now I'm high on adrenaline. It feels great! I guess technically I biked home from work but I did it in two parts so I'm not sure it counts. My jaw tends to tense up when I ride and I was worried it would be really bad, but it seems ok. The first ( Read more... )

- I have a test tomorrow in Intro to Greek Culture and Society. Seeing as I have taken such courses as Intro to Classics, Intro to Greek History, Classical Mythology, Intro to Epic and Ancient art...this course is mostly just a review. This leaves me rather unmotivated to study, but I'm trying ( Read more... )
