Oh god, it's kind of awful. I mean, yes, interesting ideas, but seriously...300-some pages of old Greek dudes having pretentious discussions about things? Also, I am always both amused and horrified with translations of ancient texts.

OH GOOD.

I seem to be able to function alright on that little sleep? I mean, I make no sense when I talk and I shake a lot, which is a lot disconcerting, but I don't actually fall asleep in the middle of lecture or anything.
