Sooooo tired

D&D this evening was great, despite only being two players. We worked through most of the back-story to the present game, and then Seb and Corrigan went off to find Myrthas' tower quite the worse for wear. I am far too tired to write a plot summary now, though I hopefully will get a chance to do one tomorrow.

Also, as I turned onto Chestnut coming home about ten minutes ago, I found at least a dozen police cars and ambulances along the street and neighbouring streets. It turns out there was a fire (not just a fire alarm, but a fire) in the building next to mine. It seems it wasn't too bad, and things appeared to be dying down as I got there, but it was exciting and stuff... in a "glad it's not me" kind of way.

Now, sleep. Tomorrow I will get secondary research done, damnit! G'night all.

So stressed

Another hour wasted in the library today, this time hunting for an edition of Martianus Capella's De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii. It's one of the more popular texts of the middle ages; you'd think there would be tons of copies floating around. After an hour of searching, the best I found was a critical edition from 1925.

All this means, though, that I've only read two articles today. I've got 4 or 5 more in my bag, and I want to get at least 4-5 more tomorrow, and I was to start writing on Friday. Did I mention that tonight I've got seder and tomorrow I've got class from 11-1, and then I'm going over Latin stuff after that? I feel like I have absolutely no time. I'm so stressed my stomach is in knots and I can't calm down. This is not good, very not good. I will be happy when it's Monday and I'm rid of these papers and the Latin exam.

Incidentally, anyone who feels like convincing me to do a PhD -- this is definitely not the time. I'm about ready to say "good riddance" to grad school forever. Have I mentioned I'm increadbly stressed?

Well, that was interesting

I can honestly say that the seder I had tonight was one of the more... unique seders I've ever attended. In the end, the food was wonderful and my cousin did an admirably job of being hostess while my aunt and uncle were in Montreal (don't ask). The hagadah, an abridgement of an abridgement, and out of order to boot, was... erm... probably the less said about it, the better. My dad and I managed to toss out some extemporaneous commentary which made it flow a little better, and in the end we had a lovely evening.

Though, on second thought, perhaps having turkey and two small glasses of wine was a foolish idea, given that I want to take notes on at least one more article tonight.

Right. Time to get to it. I may post one more entry tonight if I get around to writing up notes from yesterday's D&D game. I know Andrew and Sam are waiting for it, and there's a lot to say... I'm just tired. So, if I don't write again, g'night. If I do, g'night anyway, because I'm sure someone, somewhere, will go to bed before I write the next entry. G'night all.
