When the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train
I wanted to see how far along the weekdaily showing of seasons 1 through 9 was, so I turned on the television last night. It was an Oma episode, so I ended up watching most of it. "The universe is vast, and we are so small. The only thing we can really control is whether we are good or evil." (from memory and thus probably not an actual quotation; it also sounds better in context) As some sort of atonement for my Philosophy course (or possibly as a reaction to spending lots of time reading about Socrates), I've been philosophizing lately, and my papers are taking a philosophical slant. Unfortunately, what I'd like to write about and what I'm supposed to write about are two different things. So many thoughts on so many things, and I can't seem to pull them together into a coherent whole.
I suppose I should have mentioned it earlier, but the world's worst Greek paper has been submitted. Well, almost the world's worst. As far as I know, the thesis hasn't been examined by anyone yet; perhaps that means it's a stupid thesis, and I am just too tired and insufficiently well read to see how stupid it is, or just too lazy to have found the place where it has been examined. Even if the idea was actually good, the paper was poorly written. Meh. It does amuse me, though, that I used considerably more Greek in my Seminar paper than I did in my Greek-language-course paper. At this point, I would give serious thought to not writing my Latin paper if I knew for certain that I didn't actually need to.
On the bright(?) side, it'll all be over by noon on Thursday. If anybody's around Waterloo in the afternoon and wants to celebrate, let me know; otherwise I suspect I'll just go home and sleep.
