bees
As I was leaving my pupil's house yesterday (I've been tutoring this summer), I was stung by a yellowjacket. I haven't been stung by a bee in ages (probably at least ten years), so I was completely unprepared for the pain and stinging sensation which accompanies one of these suckers. I had just stepped out of their gate when a particularly angry insect landed on my neck and let me have it. Now I've got a nice sized welt on the back of my neck.
Got sucked into the Joe Schmo 2 marathon on Spike TV on Tuesday. I'm so ashamed of myself, but it's seriously funny programming. It's distracting when you're trying to study Greek, though.
Speaking of that Greek, I've regained most of my Greek skill, though I don't know how accurate my translations will be when I'm under pressure in a classroom or tutorial. My friend was supposed to help me prep by reading Greek with me this summer, but she's been incomunicado and has bailed on me for the last time. It's too bad; she's a great person and a top-notch scholar. But she's just not as reliable as I'd have hoped.
My brother's white-coat ceremony is tomorrow; I can't believe I'm actually going to see him in a white doctor's coat. I'm proud of him, but that's really creepy too...
