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.
καληνύχτα – aka Goodnite!
Raise your hand if you love Pushing Daisies!

My hand is most definitely raised! Oh how I love this tv show! From the beautiful Lee Pace, to the amazing sets, to the brilliant idea, to the crime solving, to the hilarity…. I love everything – it’s just an amazing show. Frank said it’s the quintessential ME show… Not sure what he means by that haha… other than he thinks I’m a big weirdo.
I mean, c’mon!! If nothing else, watch the show for the Pie Maker!
I hope Frank doesn’t see this post, cause he’ll be just a tad jealous : P
Well anyway, when I was at work earlier I was convinced that when I got home I’d clean and start working on my first paper for my class on Homer and be productive in general. So far I’ve eaten lunch… and started this blog haha. Oh, that’s a lie, I did dishes too, but it’s not like there was much to do.
That’s something I do enjoy about our apartment – there’s no dishwasher. And you may be thinking, “why the hell would you like that?” Well let me tell you: We don’t have enough dishes to fill a dishwasher anyway, so if we were continually putting our dishes in the dishwasher, we would run out of dishes before we had to run it. Next, since we have a small dish drainer for the dishes to dry in, we have to put the clean dishes away more often. When I lived at my parents house, I would always just stack dishes until there was no more room left and I had to put them away. Now that amount of time is much smaller haha. I don’t know, it just makes me neater, which is always good. I need things like that.
So, money’s getting tight, especially after spending $120 on groceries due to the fact that I had to buy a lot of stuff since I had absolutely nothing other than snacks and soy milk at my apartment. I think we’re going grocery shopping again tonite… hello credit card.
I’m usually really good about paying most of my bill on my credit cards every month, plus I’m usually pretty good about not using it much, but now I don’t even have the money too. BLEH.
Well, with that said, I think I’m going to do my reading for class tomorrow… or nap. One of the two.
