In the beginning was the word

And it was Greek.

When term began, I'd never have imagined that my favourite class this year would be biblical (koine) Greek. I mean, it doesn't have the most alluring air, does it? Learn to read the New Testament and assorted Hellenistic/Roman period papyrii in their original language.

But it's turned out to be - largely because of the lecturer, who I can't praise enough - so incredibly fun. Worth getting up for, and sometimes makes my day.

Good thing too, since I have four Greek classes during the week, and two of them take place at 0900 hours.

Tonight, I get a social life. Yes, I am a odd creature, who finds open mic poetry night the highlight of her quarterly social calendar.

And! I have my copy of A Companion to Wolves! At last!

Hold my head up, let my hair down

Today I succeeded is doing all but one of the things I intended to do. There was librarying (trade and cultural exchange between Bronze Age Crete and Egypt: it is so cool), and gym.

Also lectures, but those we speak not of.

Happy birthday, belatedly, to beatriceeagle

The commercialisation of All Hallows Eve provokes me into quiet backlash. So I have poured my libations and lit the fire, and now there will be a peaceful hour of internet and music.

Requiscat in pacem.
