formerly busy
Now older and busy.
First and foremost, I'd like to say that I had a wonderful time on my birthday. Many many many thanks to everyone who wrote. I'm sorry I haven't thanked you personally. I will after tomorrow. I promise. The freshers matriculated, I celebrated with them, celebrated with friends, went to dinner, celebrated some more... It was quite the celebration.
But now the giddiness has worn off, and I am back to being very busy.
Choirs at Queen's and Magdalen have started up again, as have rehearsals for Oxford University Orchestra. Quiz Squad was yesterday too. I turned in the first chapter of my thesis to my supervisor yesterday. He wants to see it revamped before next week (too much literary analysis, not enough historical analysis, he said today). I have about 75 lines of Greek to translate tonight, and the light in my room just blew out. Maintenance won't be in until tomorrow to fix it.
My Greek is not progressing as I'd hoped, which is discouraging. Hopefully, some fun lectures will lighten the mood. Tomorrow is American Politics followed by Greek History. And then Greek Language Class, which will be, um, interesting.
And I'm very, very sleepy. And hungry. But if I eat now, I'll get sleepier and just pass out, and I need to do more of my Greek.
