mighty_aphroditeSo. Tired.
I am seriously stretched soooooo thin right now. My hormones are definitely screwed up-- I am 7 weeks late, but apparently not knocked up, and I have almost no sex drive. But the rest of me is fucked up too. I almost fell asleep in my Propertius class today- I don't know why, I was feeling fine up until that point. I'm having off and on ear aches. My arthritis is flaring up in my right knee. My winter allergies kicked in today and my winter asthma last night. *makes mental note to wheedle Advair prescription out of health service*
I'm not doing too bad academically, but I don't feel like I am doing great, either. I'm getting an overal grade of 85 in the Greek class and I have no idea in the Latin class (but I'm sure it's pretty decent.). (keep in mind that I have to keep a B+ average to stay in the program). But I have term papers looming and I am dreading them. Proficiency exams are in two weeks, but I don't feel ready to take them. And I don't have to this semester, so I'm not. But I don't think I'll ever be ready.
On the plus side, I have a really good chocolate cake upstairs in the office refrigerator.
The thing I am liking the most right now is teaching Mythology. Because mythology and tragedy and religion are my three top academic interests and I get to teach a little of all three. I do hope my students are getting something out of it. I really do try to make the class interesting and to do what I can to help them understand the material (Like making it an assignment to write a study guide for one book of the Odyssey, then making copies for the whole class so they have a complete study guide for the whole shebang). I must be pretty good at it because the class average on the exam was an A-, right? Either that or the prof made the exam way too easy.
Latin exam looming on Friday, pray for me (again). Ugh. Greek reading group in half an hour. I REALLY wish I hadn't signed on for that.
