Somewhere outside, someone is a)mistreating a very squeaky puppy, or b)pissing off a very squeaky bird.

Achievements:

1.5 hours of Latin, ~30 pages of Breeze and Dobson's Hadrian's Wall, two chapters of Martin Goodman's The Roman World: 44BC - AD180.

Writing: .9K


Decent walk today, when the sun made an appearance between the rain. There's definitely a strongly autumnal feel to the air the last couple of days, but that could merely be an artefact of the amount of water around.

Yesterday evening's thunder-and-lightning extravaganza was pretty impressive, too.


Between walking and running, I've covered at least ten miles this week. Maybe 3.5K on duellist. Two college books, three chapters of Greek vocabulary, and a chunk of groundwork on Latin.

What do you think? Am I sufficiently justifying my continued existence? :P

...I'm afraid I can

College IS services want me to upgrade to Windows XP Pro before I can access their network. For E120.00 per upgrade, it's not exactly a bargain. I'm pretty pissed, since it's not like this laptop was cheap. And I'm broke, of course.

Whining's not going to fix anything, though.

Now I do out my:

timetable of days
weekly budgets
poster for the Arch. Soc.'s first event

---

Later.

Progress for Friday, 6 October

I'd have puked, but the only thing I had in my gut was blood.

An immortal
never vomits blood.
