So today was amazingly worse than yesterday... I stayed up till 5 am working on my stupid translations. I still wasn't done them when I went to bed, but I had until 2:30 pm to hand them in with only one hour class in between at 10 am. That is when my troubles came about, when I went to my 10 am class ( Classical Hero Myths) there was my TA standing there with a huge smile and the words "POP QUIZ" slowly came out of his mouth. I was screwed. I only do the readings at the end of the year for the exam, otherwise I read what I must and pay close attention in class. This was a quiz to know 5 different myth characters, what play they were from and who wrote the play. I was so screwed it wasn't even funny. I knew Heracles' father Amphitrion from the play Heracles by Euripides. BUT that was the only one I knew all
three aspects of the question. Also spelling counted... I spelt Euripides like Eurepides so yay me I MIGHT get a 30% on that. This was the same class that I had to miss ONE lecture in order to study more for a midterm and there was a pop quiz in class. This class is really wanting me to fail. OH Also my TA claimed that he told us of this pop quiz last week... we all said no, because I would have studied or at least wrote in my book QUIZ TUESDAY, but no there was nothing... so he said it must have been his other seminars...WELL THANKS! They knew about it ..but here I am lowering my mark just for you... have fun! ANYWHO After that amazing class I still had to do a lot of translations and I really was not in the mood to do so, but I put on some music and got into the groove... But then 2:30 came up and I was still not done! YES I LOVE STRESS! So then I went to the Classics department to see if I could get help and I found my Classical Gods myth professor who will ironically be my 2nd year Greek Professor and he helped me out with a few things and then my TA for that class showed up and I got more help... She allowed me to hand in the rest of my assignment by 5 pm. So I just guessed for most and put together and handed that sucker in. I really don't want to look at Greek for a long time, but I have a class tomorrow and more translations to do by next tuesday...yes it never ends. After I handed in my work at about 4:30 I had.. well 30 mins. before my 2 hour lecture in History.... So a savored my few mins of joy and then went to class. We talked about the end of the Soviet Union and the issues with Yugoslavia... Amazingly something good came out of this class...we left early!!!!! YES! So then it was supper time. Supper was not good .... I went to the pasta bar and was excited for some god old fashioned pasta... when I got there there was no tomato or spinach ( the two things I get on my pasta) So I got it plane with alfredo sauce.... Which sadly was very watery and had little taste. After this I came to the library to do my readings for my history seminar tomorrow morning... they were short which was awesome...Um one was about Saddam's huge urge to get nuclear weapons and then popular questions asked about the gulf war. So they were interesting.... scary how close Saddam got to launching nuclear weapons though ... it blew my mind.
Anywho I am now finished my readings and have nothing left to do this week that is DUE.... but I have essays that are due next week and I should get a start on them.....But I am the Queen of Procrastination ...so we shall see. I think this evening I shall watch a movie or some shows online... Im watching Numb3ers right now... It took me a while to get into the show... but the math it really captures you ...I have no idea how...I hate math sooo much, but I guess if i don't have to do it then I am all good with it. OHHHH I can read my Percy Jackson books...Yessss I like that idea I've been sooo busy that I forgot about them... *sniffle*. Anywho I'm still in the library waiting for my friend to finish her reading...so I really have nothing else to say. I hope the night is uneventful, but hey, with my luck anything can happen.
Theme of Blog: Little sleep and nonstop work really sucks..... and that I really would like a better day, I'm sounding so depressing in my first two blogs.... SOMETHING AWESOME HAPPEN!
