Whining about travel never gets you friends,

but I’m going to do it anyway, so suck it.

This is my problem; this week would have been perfect for travelling. We get four days off, and seems everyone is going to Mykonos. Now, I don’t really care about Mykonos one way or the other, but I do want to go here.

For those of you who don’t know, this is Delos. Where Apollo and Artemis were born. Kind of a big deal.

Since I have work up to my eyeballs this week (hey, that’s a first!), I will have to do any travelling next week. The weekend in between my finals (I have exams on Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday). Balls, I say.

So the question is, is Delos worth failing two of my finals for? (Neither of those finals is Ancient Greek, which is really the only class I care about. Also, I haven’t been travelling for a month, which is simply heinous.)

Come on, people. Input is important. At the very least it will give me someone to blame should things go belly-up I value your opinion!

God does not want me to go to Sweden

I am no longer allowed to travel, ever.

It’s almost Easter…

and I am staying put in Athens for it. I was going to go to Crete, then Corfu, then got lazy. Also, I imagine travelling out of Athens during the Easter holiday would be a bitch. I will definitely check out services over Easter though.

And now, another list.

This is what I do nowadays

Patrick Star, Getting Things Done

Well, I lie. I have several things to do:

1. Read for my Orthodox paper, which I have stupidly decided to do on the Trinity, Personhood, Communion in the Anglican and Orthodox Churches

2. Figure out a topic for Honors. I’m sure it will have something to do with New Comedy. Which, apparently, nobody in the department has done before. Eush Tayco: Breaking New Ground and Other Things since 2000.

3. Well, actually, that’s it. Usually I would be freaking out about my future or something like that, but I am just too tired. And I have other things to worry about, like how can I continue to eat while my stove is still broken. Gyros are getting old.

Of Giant Tools

‘With a tool that big, one would think you were compensating for something…’

(To be fair, it was a very large wrench. It was about half my height.) Just some of the things I learn in my Advanced Open Water Diving course. (The rest is kind of unprintable.)
