So I stayed in the dorm pretty much *all* day just doing homework. I read some of the Aeneid (though not enough), but most of the day was spent reading Aquinas in Latin ( his commentary on Ephesians) out loud in English into a tape recorder. I shall later play back what I read and type it up, fixing errors along the way, and unsnarling some of the Latin phrases I couldn't decipher in less than 20 seconds. I was lazy and skipped over them for later. Fortunately there weren't too many of those. But what a high! I'm high on ... me. Haha. I'm so smart. ;)

I also got some Greek done, though very little. I'm taking Tyler's advice and writing down and looking up verbs first, and deciphering nouns later. This works to some extent. I could have gotten more done on it (I think I kind of fudged through the first 20 lines -- means I only have to do 30 tomorrow, yayness!) had I not been so tired and had I not been watching Mostly Martha in the background. [G] I should probably return to that shortly. I thought I would do my homework for Tuesday, so that Monday evening (and some of tomorrow) may be spent on my paper. I'm considering braving the campus mass again, just for economy of time. Augh. I dislike doing that very much. I do miss the Latin Mass. Sigh.

Oh, since my last post I am much better. I'm not about to crack anymore. However, I shall never again allow myself to make a list of things about which I am stressed.
