I gots a B- in GREEK!

Fuck yeah!

I was really hoping that would happen. A B- is infinitely better than a C+ let me tell you. And this one was never a sure thing. I'm pretty sure this is the only time I've ever been really happy to get a B-.

The only mark I haven't got back yet is for WWII, which I wrote on Wednesday. That probably won't be that great a mark, but it should be decent if nothing else. I just didn't care that much, and the History department does History differently than Classics, and I just didn't have the energy to figure out exactly what they wanted.

But my last term has actually been a fairly good one.

I feel even more justified wearing my grad ring now.

Take that school! I have pwned you!

Success!

And that is totally the best I have felt about a Greek exam all year! There were definitely some pieces where I didn't know for sure what was going on, but I knew exactly where each passage came from and what it was supposed to say, even if I wasn't sure about exact vocabulary or grammar. And this is the first Greek exam in a while where I haven't felt ignorant and overwhelmed while writing it.

I think this means I finally figured out how to study for this class! and of course it was for the last exam - *headdesk*. But I guess it's better late than never.

And now you won't have to hear me complain about Greek for at least another few years - if not ever again!

YAY!

1 class down, 3 to go!

For some reason completely unknown to me I am super tired today. I fell asleep on the couch after finishing my Roman history reading and I only recently got up and made mac-and-cheese for dinner. I may need something more than that later.

Today both of my amazon packages of textbooks arrived. The second one (which actually arrive first) had Stargate: The Ark of Truth as well as my enormous Smyth's Greek Grammar (at least it's pretty), so I spent my afternoon watching special features and telling myself that I didn't have the time to watch the whole movie again right now because I had to do work! Of course I totally did have the time to watch it, because it's not like I actually spent that time doing any work anyway. I still have ten pages of Latin to do by Monday and two or three of Greek for Tuesday (and I work Monday nights). I'm really looking forward to next term because then I'll only have to worry about one language course for the first time since first year.

I talked with the honours advisor (?) today and he assured me that I could probably do the Latin Sight Passage without any review ahead of time because it's written for the second-year level. It has been a while since I took that class. But I definitely going to take that exam sometime this term (I'm planning on taking the others next term because I have a smaller course-load then) because I'm still doing Latin right now.

Also the special features for Ark of Truth are pretty cool. They had a recording of the Stargate Panel from the San Fransisco Comic Con and it was awesome. One of the reasons why I love Ben Browder is that he's this really attractive leading-man actor, but when you see pictures of him at cons and stuff he just looks like a normal guy. Still attractive (ob-vi), but his hair is a mess (and not in the styled way) and he's wearing normal clothes, and he seems like the kind of guy it would be great to hang out with and watch some sports and drink some beer. Also in all the special features interviews Michael Shanks was wearing an old Canucks shirt with the flying skate logo, which made me really happy. I mean I've known that Shanks was a Canucks fan even before I became one, but it's still great to see it. Especially since I've been getting pumped for the season lately. Yay more hockey!

I am going to do my Greek exam today. Really.

There's a part of my brain that's yelling at me and saying that I haven't prepared enough and I'm going to die. But the other part of my brain is pointing out that no matter how late I wait with this exam I'll still end up with the same amount of preparation.

Motivation = laughable.

Self-control = ask me again this afternoon.
