Geez talk about a long break, huh? This is why I suck at this whole blogging thing. I get busy and my blog suffers. If you notice my last post is pretty much right before school started, and now here I am, after midterms. I should be reading The Last Days of Socrates, but I really don’t want to. Thucydides killed my spirit already tonight. That is one of the worst reads ever!!! My teacher was saying he did not pick the Steven Lattimore translation for its readability (of course not! that would be too nice). Thucydides takes away my will to learn. UGH.
Anywho, so I actually started Greek and I must say, I’m doing pretty darn good. Today’s quiz was definitely not my best though. If I had learned grammar a little better when I was learning English, this wouldn’t be so difficult, but since I have a hard time figuring out what nominative vs. accusative cases are in English, it makes it difficult to do in Greek. Tomorrow night our class is going to Big Fat Greek Restaurant and it’s on the University. I wish it wasn’t during the Suns game though!!! Well, hopefully that will be kinda fun. Outside-of-class-class-events are always a little awkward though.
OH! And my car is fixed! Now, I believe it was fixed the last time I blogged (but as I established that was FOREVER ago). My car broke twice since then, I’m pretty sure. Maybe even three times. But I got a new battery and Frank put it in for me and now its working! I’m mobile again! And the best part?
I GET TO GET MY NEW CAR NEXT WEEKEND!!! That’s right, I’m trading in my pink Rabbit. While I love it and really don’t want to let it go, it’s 30 years old and not that reliable. I’m going to let the girl across the street from my parents buy it cause I like her, and that was one of my biggest things about selling my car. I didn’t want it to go to just any girl. I’m excited to be able to go places now! I could drive to Phoenix if I needed to. I could drive to California if I wanted to! This will be really good for when my sister has her baby too. I can leave as soon as she goes into labor, and be there 4 hours later (hopefully!).
I guess I actually should get to finishing my homework since it’s getting late.

Wow, whats wrong with me? why can’t I be a consistent blogger. I finished my class on the Holocaust and I got an A. I was a little worried because I went home last weekend for my parents 31st anniversary and when I woke up Sunday morning I had a cold. So anyway, I didn’t get to study as much as I wanted to because I was sick. I had to skip work because of it. That ended up being an issue, which was weird because whenever I’ve had to skip work at that job (with my nice boss) he’s always been fine with it. Anyway… I got an A which was good because it was 50% of my grade and I should have studied more.
I’ve been loving the Olympics! Gymnastics is totally my favorite and I love watching it. Its been kind of annoying that it’s always on when swimming is on and they have to go back and forth, but my sister pointed out that at least it was swimming and not something lame, like, skeet shooting or something.
So I bought all my books for this semester and so far I’ve received all but 3. I saved about 50% percent though by going online. A lot of people don’t do the buying online thing correctly, I’ve noticed. My roommate ordered some books, but she ordered them so late that she had to pay for the expedited shipping, which pretty much defeats the purpose. You have to order your books early. BUT the other thing is, because you’re ordering them early, you have to stick with the classes you sign up for. I’ve noticed that most people drop their classes like their hot. ( I love snoop dogg). I have not dropped any classes so far in college and thats the other key to buying books online. It’s a fine science.
I cannot believe school starts again on the 25th. I was looking through the workbook for my Greek class and it looks very intense. There are, like, no directions in English…. It just seems scary.
Well, I’m going to try to write again soon.

I don’t like this week. I have too much to do, and I didn’t get anything done over the weekend because we had a big religious convention all weekend and my parents were here for it, so even after the religious stuff was done, I was hanging with my parents. Because of this, I barely studied for my quiz that was on Monday, but hopefully I did okay on it; I think I did. I have a four page paper due Thursday, and I’m still iffy on my topic… and my midterm is on Friday.
Frank was telling me I should’ve just taken both my summer classes during the first summer session, but with just this one class’ assignments piling up on me, I wouldn’t want a second class to worry about too. If I had taken a second class, this weekend probably would’ve killed my grades.
I watched 27 Dresses this weekend and I LOVED it! Especially the ode’s to Elton John haha. It was an awesome movie, so I decided I need to catch up on the recent romantic comedies. Frank doesn’t like them, plus we’re both skint, so I haven’t seen many movies recently. I’ve like Katherine Heigl ever since I saw her in Wish Upon a Star, the old Disney movie, but my respect for James Marsden went up.
Since the end of this fiscal year is ending at the library (and everywhere else) this weekend, my boss told me I could come in and work a couple long days, so I’m going in on Saturday, and hopefully Sunday too, to work 6 hour days to make a little extra, but I’m not sure how many hours I’m going to get once I get my work-study paperwork in. Hopefully at least 14, because that’s not even enough for all my bills…. Bleh. I hate paying for everything with my credit card. It feels so immature, but the truth is I just don’t have the money and no one down here is hiring.
Speaking of that, Frank had a job interview scheduled for yesterday and they called him a half hour beforehand to say, nevermind because they filled the position. That’s super-lame if you ask me, but Frank says he bets the person they hired knew someone else who worked there. Most likely. Probably nepotism at it’s finest.
So I plugged the page I did because of the recent blog on Shaq’s rap about Kobe. As much as I hate Kobe and love the Suns, the rap’s kinda dumb. I didn’t listen to it that closely, but just the “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes” is a tad ridiculous. I’m just gonna link it, cause I don’t particularly want it on my page haha.
Okay, Frank is nagging me about starting my paper, and I guess he’s right. I don’t want to be stuck with all four pages left to write by tomorrow night. OH, but I’m excited because of the Before You Know It software I plugged in an earlier post, I know 14 animals in Greek and I can write them and everything haha. silly me.
4 more days till my new phone – I CANNOT WAIT!

Well, this is my first post. My name is Michelle and I’m 20 years old. I’m a studying Classics at the University of Arizona and I plan on going into Library Science after that. If you can’t gather it from that, I love books. I don’t get to read as much as I want to though, because during the school year I feel guilty if I read non-school books. BUT ITS SUMMER NOW 
The first night I got back home I went straight to the library and got a couple books and movies. So far the only book I’ve finished is Go Ask Alice, which, if you haven’t read, you definitely should.
Also, now that it’s summer, I get to start concentrating on learning Greek since I start next fall. I found an AMAZING free program called Before You Know It. It has lists of words, electronic flash cards, and it even has sound, which I thought I would never find in a free program. Crazy, but exciting. My boyfriend made fun of me a little for taking Greek, but first off, I’m a 1/4 Greek, and secondly, I have to take Greek or Latin for my major… I don’t have much of a choice : )
I guess that’s all for today!
