I am still sick.

This is the all-suckitudinous.

Also, I think I may be pulling an all-nighter tonight.

Also also, I think I may smoke despite knowing I shouldn't. Or maybe not, since I'm always on about how human beings can control their appetites.

On to see how far behind I am on games, and then a spring to L308.

I have a history midterm and a Greek midterm this week. Also, I have a Classical Epics paper due next Tuesday, when I get to register for next semester ( Read more... )

I've just been in this terribly grim, dour, desperate mood, which causes me to see all my father's faults writ large in me. I think it has to do with the midterms, possibly, and the fact that I can't smoke, and the fact that I become a stress non-eater if the stress continues long enough, and my UTTER AND COMPLETE TERROR OF FAILURE. Not that I have ( Read more... )

So my registration date for next semester is Thursday, and I actually sat down yesterday and took a look at what's being offered in Classics. There are no more history courses I want to take, and it's not worth it to me to sit through a course which is partially about medieval history just in order to get Prof. Watts again (does the poor man really ( Read more... )

So I went to the Red Cross book sale yesterday. Everything was half-price by then, so I scored pretty well for $4.75 (three CDs, four books). One of these was in the History of Civilization series by Will and Ariel Durant; some asshole let that go out of print, like nobody wants to read it or anything.

I completely wiped out today in L308; apparently Prof. Franklin thought it would be funny to call on me twice, and I wiped out both times. Jesus, how can you forget something as simple as the fact that compound verbs always take a dative? I am an idiot. I do not deserve to live. I've been contemplating whether to drop the class, commit seppuku, or ( Read more... )

I just spent the better part of this afternoon pretending to do reading for C421 when in actual fact I was really working on the samurai game. Oh, and I did some Terra Incognita stuff, like arrange for an audition and point someone to the character application form. And now I have to go do some other stuff, like eat and answer e-mail, and ( Read more... )

I was just sitting in my C311 classroom. It was bright and sunny, and one of the previous classes had cracked the window, so there was a nice breeze, and outside the trees showed all green and gold and lovely. We were reading the Odyssey.

For a moment, I was a child again, reading the Odyssey for the first time in the late spring or early summer ( Read more... )

Okay. So: I completely suck at Latin grammar. I can translate but not explain why something has to be in the subjunctive. HELP ME APOLLO. I did manage to not wipe out when I was discussing indirect statements yesterday, but I still made a giant Valu-Pak (tm) sized ass of myself. I console myself with two thoughts ( Read more... )
