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.

So I came into work today for a six hour shift and there is nothing to do. I told my boss yesterday I was coming in for the long shift (before the end of this fiscal year) and we both knew there wouldn’t be six hours of work, but I didn’t know there would only be a half hour of work. So I’m sitting here trying to get homework done, but I’m really bored. And kinda hungry. And I still have 4 hours left of work. BLEH!!!!
I have an oral report I have to about the Odyssey on Tuesday, but I’ve read the first page and a half so far and it’s about Aladdin…. I don’t get it. But that kind of annoyed me so now I don’t want to keep reading it. Plus I’m cold, and, like, I already said, I’m hungry. I’m especially tempted to leave because I may not get my homework done if I go home, but I’m coming in again tomorrow for six hours, and there won’t be work to do then either, so I can do homework then. And bring coffee. That was my mistake today.
My dad ordered my new phone today… or at least he told me he was going to. I hope it comes on Monday, cause I’m so sick of my phone. My car is also ready on Monday, I don’t know if I mentioned that and I don’t feel like going to look, but we took my car to a repair shop last Monday, but since Frank might have to go to Phoenix on Monday, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go get it. It’ll be nice to have my car back though, plus we can stop using Frank’s gas-guzzling truck for the few times we do go anywhere.
I can’t believe my class is almost over already. I have 8 days of classes left. That is one thing I definitely like about summer school – you get it over with quick. I just hope I didn’t do too bad on my paper cause I didn’t work very hard on it, but I’ve done well on my quizzes. It’s hard to go from high school where getting A’s was mandatory (to my parents) and then coming to college. Now that I’ve raised my gpa (it sucked after my first semester) up to 3.6, getting a B isn’t a huge deal. I need to remember that.
I’m glad the draft is finally over. For some reason, even though I’ve never watched it before, I was kinda nervous, or anxious. I was really mad at first that we drafted Robin Lopez, but when I got to thinking about it and talking to Frank about it, I realized that we do need a backup center, and he’s lucky to get to work with Shaq and Amare. If he really learns from them, he’s gonna be one of the best center’s in the NBA eventually. And I didn’t realize that the Suns had a second round pick – I thought we had traded it to either Seattle or Portland (not that it matters), but I saw we drafted Malik Hairston. When I saw that I got a lot less mad about drafting Lopez, because the reason I had initially been upset is because we need a back up guard for Nash. So now that I see we have one, I’m happy. I can’t wait for next season to start.
Alright, well I’m either going to start doing some more homework or I’m gonna go home… I’m not sure which. Either way, I should stop goofing off.
