Today is good. I went and signed my lease for next year, so I am all set to live and not have to look for a new apartment anymore. Also, the place is being renovated as we speak, so it shall be extra-sweet when I get there ( Read more... )

Today has been a good day, I think. Greek was good, as I had finished my exam and we still did some of the Medea that I had already translated so I wasn't completely useless there.

Tonight I am feeling somewhat ill. My hittite class got cancelled, so I went and ate with a bunch of linguistics people instead, and it was good. I also acquired a bottle of the divine Chartreuse Verte, and I assure you it is necessary for I am feeling rather ill this evening and fed up with colds in general ( Read more... )

Tonight has been a good one, for I have had the joyous pleasure of reading Sappho. I have to give a presentation on Greek meter on Wednesday, HLP, and it would be sinful for me to pass up the opportunity to spread her lovely verse onto the masses. hoi polloi, if you will.

Some days are just lazy by nature, and today started out looking like one. Despite this, I managed to get a lot of work done, so go me ( Read more... )
