Is it really so hard to find a thesis advisor? Apparently so. A couple semesters ago, I'd asked around in my department, but no one felt comfortable working with Roman agriculture. Now I have people and contacts lined up on the agricultural/post harvest side of things but I'm worried about finding someone on the Classical end. I spent a good ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in the computer lab in Wheeler being a good girl and translating my Greek. I had to look up the word "pannuchiois," which apparently means "all night long." And guess what song I'm listening to? :D EPIC WIN! AC/DC AND GREEK= AWESOME!!!!

( Oh Supernatural... )

Oh dear. Google you've really done it this time. I'm only mildly irritated when you offer to translate my Greek for me and then do it like a person who trying to make sentences out of physics equations. But today, you fail EPICALLY. My LatinReadingSupernaturalLoving!Fangirl self was following a link from someone's lj to check out a site of Latin ( Read more... )

No more GRE for me!! It's all over. But now the fun begins with writing an essay for Greek, studying for my German test next Thursday, and really settling down to do applications. There really is no rest for the wicked overworked college student.

*gigglesnort* Oh Pentheus, you're trying so hard, but you know you're doing it wrong when you get verbally bitchslapped by a blind prophet. LMFAO. Have some anglicized Greek because I don't know how to type Greek on livejournal ( Read more... )

Maybe I'm a bit of a Pentheus but tell me what you think of this line "(Dionysus) who day and night is with young girls holding before them the Bacchic mysteries." All I could think of is "so that's what they're calling them these days!" Oh god. As Dean would say "There's not a lot of scenery in East Texas The Bacchae so you have to make your own ( Read more... )

Good god. I'm in the library right now trying to avoid all distractions so I can actually study for my Greek midterm and SOME ASSHOLE has got his music on really loud. WTF?! I can't tell if it's filtering in from outside or if I'm going to have to hunt the bastard down. GRRRRRR ( Read more... )

Well, at least I finished my German essay and got my GSI to proofread it! That's an accomplishment, right? We had to write about our best or worst vacations. I wrote about an ill timed drive to middle-of-nowhere Kansas eleven years ago so my mom could pick up some ancestral chair from my crazy great aunt. It wasn't the worst vacation ever, it was ( Read more... )

Oh Greek. I was all "yayy!" yesterday and now look what you've done to me. Once again, my spirits are crushed beneath the merciless boot of your millenia-old linguistic history. Apparently my midterm is now Monday, October 5 instead of on some nebulous date in the future. O POPOIIIII!

And I have to do practice GRE tests between then and now. :'(
