The State of the Bean

[kitewithfish]

On the eve of an apparently oncoming massive snowstorm, here is the current shape of my existence.

1. I have printed out (on college-purchased paper, with college-purchased ink) the entirety of thehefner's draft of his Harvey Dent novel. He asked me to look it over. (I feel rather spiffed about this. Who says chatting to random sassy internet people leads nowhere good?) It sits on my desk at home, glaring at me to read it and write on it in red pencil my running thoughts.

2. I have finished my Latin class! Which makes me sad, honestly, because this is the last time I will ever be able to take a Latin class with Prof. Starr. He is delightful, smart, and funny. The test was not bad, I think.

3. I need to write my German paper on comparing Novalis' "Christendom or Europe" to Lessing's Nathan the Wise. It should be cool. But since it's in German, I am putting my trust in my own little laptop to chug its way through one more demanding finals seasons rather than typing the essay on another computer. The German keyboard I bought for myself really, really helps on this. I need ümläütß, and I shall have them!

4. My Greek test will be tomorrow morning, which is the last chance to take the test before the giant snow storm comes in. I am slightly worried, because while I know essentially exactly what will be on it, I have not done the memorizing for this that I should. I fear the repercussions. Fortunately, I am taking the class pass/fail on top of my normal course load, so failing it will not hurt my GPA and I will not be short a class for graduation. Mostly it's my own pride, I think? But I would like to take the Greek and do well in it for future reasons, though it will probably not hurt me too much to fail it. I mean, if I do fail it, I still might be able to talk my way into the next level of the course or take an exam to qualify into it. I'd have to see.

5. My eyeballs feel like someone has scrubbed them with salt. Ouch!

God, if there's one thing I miss about college, it's abusing their printers for my own purposes, particularly printing out my tomes.

Oh noes, teh red pencil of DOOM! My old nemesis. (I'm so excited!)

And what did we learn about your eyes?
