I thought I'd be studying Homer and Herodotos this year. This may yet happen, but apparently I misread the handbook for my Greek language lessons. The Homer and Herodotos classes are texts in translation: Greek Language is Lysias' On the Murder of Eratosthenes.
Oh, well. Yay, murder and adultery and good Attic Greek?
In other news, I'm slacking on my thesis this week in order to get some paid work done. As always, woe is cashless me - except this year, cashless me is actually in-debt me. Good thing we don't have debtors' prison anyway, yes?
(It was worth it to do the research in Greece. It was.)
I presume holding myself to a daily minimum of 1,000 nonfiction non-thesis words for this week counts as a Best Work Practice? Or perhaps I need to find new ways of directing biting sarcasm at myself? Lately, I've shown a deplorable tendency to forgive myself for being merely human and not doing All The Things to the Highest Possible Standard.
