One midterm down, four more and two papers to go. *breathes*
*
Agh, I should have started studying for this midterm earlier, considering that we've had the exact questions that will be on the test for the past week. Um, well, I hope my ability to make things up on the spot is still good? At least they're expected to be really short essays; there're only 25 minutes for each, since it's a 50 minute class.
*
I am cautiously considering trying to do an accelerated Greek or Latin class this summer at the University of Washington -- I can't do the intensive program, since they have it for, like, Ukrainian but neither Greek nor Latin, and even if they did, that ends after the start of the Tulane school year -- well, okay, three days before, but dude, I expect to be down here a week before then. I could look at another university, or there still a few summer programs who still have application deadlines in the near future as opposed to the recent past, but the UW's the closest to where I live, and I wouldn't have to pay airfare. And I'm a Washington state resident, so -- from what I can decipher of the website, it's cheaper, even for summer students.
Amusingly, my first reaction to that was, "But I've never lived in a big city alone before!" followed by, "...oh yeah. This one. New Orleans. And also Providence, that one time." And, uh, hi, Seattle is closer to Ellensburg than either New Orleans or Providence or Palo Alto.
Also, I really have to learn Greek. And Latin. And apparently German and French. And Old English and probably Old French and possibly every other language in the known world, except for Japanese.
Really, I probably should have stuck with English as a major.
*
After last night, I think women's bobsled is my new favorite Olympic sport. Also, Apolo Ohno! Japanese-American and a hometown boy. So is J.R. Celski, and Patrick Deneen (town thirty minutes from mine!).
*
All the teenage Olympians make me feel like I have accomplished nothing in twenty years on this earth.
*
Yeah, I think I'm giving up on studying for this midterm tonight. I'll skim the centaur articles tomorrow morning and hope that I can BS the midterm. (It's for Art and Mythology in Ancient Greece.)
*
I hope the forecast is lying about tomorrow's weather; I want a walk like breathing. *twitches* Except it's supposed to be raining all day. Damn you, New Orleans! *shakes fist*
*
I really want to be knitting and drinking tea right now.
