I didn't meant to have such a gap! Mostly I was busy with school and life, to be honest. Also, I developed this schedule to ensure that both my subjects received the required amount of time but I didn't really build in a lot of "down time for internet rambling." I'm in the midst of amending the schedule. The day I had yesterday, while sticking to it, nearly killed me mentally. I was fried from all the work.
My Greek marks aren't coming up perfect this week, nearly, but not perfect. I'm a bit miffed at myself for the silly mistakes, but hopefully I can get it back on track - this weekend will involve a good chunk of studying (good thing too - the test is Thursday).
Latin, likewise, isn't doing so well this week as well. We are, however, coming up to a series of chapters that I've already covered while taking Latin II with professor #6. So at least I have a basis for what we're doing and don't have to stress about the new material as I catch up on the overlooked concepts.
Whiteout has changed since I last bought a bottle. It has a sponge applicator now. No doubt bristles cost too much on a per-bottle basis. I don't like the sponge, but I'm adapting.

Big old Saturday night! Yeah!
Spending my Saturday night at home...likely doing Latin. Woo!! Ha ha...
The week ended out nicely - the new book was helpful to have, though I've not got any of my handy penciled-in notes in the new one. Maybe one day when I'm really bored I'll go about adding the more important ones in, but for now I'll just keep both books at hand.
So guess what happened to me on Friday? I woke up at 7:30, had my shower, ate my breakfast and started reviewing for my quizzes that day. Nothing unusual here (unless you count the wake-up time!). Then I'm doing the dishes while watching Martha, just after 10 AM when it finally dawns on me - my Greek class started at 10!! For whatever reason, I had it in my head that it was 11:30. That was a shock. So I grabbed all my books and ran out to the bus. I made it to class half an hour late, but there was no way I wasn't going to show up at all! Thankfully the class is a little slow-moving right now and I had only missed going over the rest of the vocabulary list in our text. It's also a good thing that the quiz is always given at the end of class. No harm done.
Doug and I got the chance to chat after Greek, which was pretty awesome. He's in my Greek class too and we seem to have a fair bit in common (aside from him being American and currently sick). He's also got pretty good taste in music, a clever blog and a similarily low tolerance for stupidity in the classroom.
Latin was better for some reason on Friday. I think what we're going over now might be something that professor #6 taught us at Carleton when I took Latin II over in 2006. Or I'm just finally "getting it." Whatever it is, I'm thankful! The quiz wasn't too awful either...mind you, I haven't gotten it back, so it could really go either way. We'll see on Monday.
In the mean time, I thought I'd post some stellar marks I've been getting in Greek - one is a quiz and the other is my homework assignment. I suppose I'd really like to know how other people are doing in the class too, but I guess all that really matters is how I'm doing. Still...the competitive side of me is dying to know how many of my fellow classmates I'm trouncing in the marks department.
