i had a huge test on monday in greek. i hadn't been to class in a while for a variety of reasons, so i spent every waking moment i wasn't churching it up or sleeping between friday evening and the test drilling greek [note the lack of breaks for eating]. the prep paid off.

however, tomorrow, i have a differential equations test. diff eq? i haven't taken that in five years. you forget a lot in five years, apparently. so, i'm madly reviewing even now. well, not quite. i'm being lazy. i have piles to grade. i have a beard to shave in shame. i have other homework due tomorrow.

but, all this combines to make thursday a good day to not have anything to do but watch people read the odyssey, maybe jump in and read myself for a while [though i don't have a copy on hand, but i'm sure if i wanted in they'd hand me a copy for the afternoon].

now to grade and remember how to do differential equations, maybe shave the beard into shameful muttonchops of death and destruction, to be later shaven to The Smoothness of Shame.
