In which Sky posts a second time today. Gasp shock!

• I came home from school today to a box full of yarn and journals and a few little other surprises from Mira. !!! She managed to totally stuff my stash bag full. (...good thing I totally have a spare bag waiting to be filled? Bad, Sky! Bad!) I already have two new project ideas for some of it. And I sort of thing it's just what I need. Particularly simpler projects—lace, you and I had such a passionate romance, but I... I'm sorry, I have to put you aside for now in favor of things that won't make me rip out my hair—as they are things I can do in my giant periods of free time at school this year. Definitely at least going to make myself a sweater.

• Clearly that was all to say: Mira is awesome and we love her dearly.

• While organizing my stash, I discovered that my size 7 interchangeable needles are missing. ... Seriously. They're just gone. What the hell could I have been doing with them, and without a cable (since none are missing)?

• The other thing I came home to was a skin for my Blackberry. Now I will be able to tell it from my mom's. And also I think it's adorable. (Though I am sort of sad that I didn't get one of the black paint splatter ones. But.) I managed to fuck up one of the corners a bit while trying to reposition it, but it's not a big deal... to anyone without my sense of OCD. (No really, it's not that big of a deal to me, it just catches my eye and makes me go, "Hm.")

• Who knew I could translate from Greek to English 23 verses of Genesis in 1.5 hrs after not touching a Greek textbook for 3 months? Not me! Guess who totally did it? Me! I felt a little badass.

• My first and only class tomorrow is at 1:30pm. My Monday's don't start until 1:30pm, either. I have a pretty chill school schedule, all in all. (imaginarycircus, the ones you might know that I've got: Starr for Language, Golluber for Music, Bolotin (and Smith) for Seminar.) I actually understood something in Ptolemy today! I'm counting that as a win. Also, you know, that I translated the second verse of Genesis from memory without having my translation in front of me. Yeah, today was just sort of win in general.

• Must. Get. Car.

• P.S. This is my "win" icon.

Yeah, translating Koine is so fun! :D

OMGosh. Mr. Starr. I had him for seminar my JF summer. I never bad Mr. Bolotin, but I do remember him.

I'm so glad you like the box of goodies! I'll be working on Casting Shadows this week, but the Prime Project is eating my brain right now, so I have to do that.

We're not doing Oedipus this year. Instead we're translating the Bacchae. (After we finish with the small section of Genesis we're doing.) Should be interesting. :>

Sounds awesome! Whenever you get it back to me is fine. I'm just getting back into the swing of school, so I might not have had time to work on it if you'd gotten it back to me this weekend or something.

What's the Prime Project you're working on?

That's what I did! We translated the Bacchae. Evohe! It is so bloody and creepy. I love that play.

You can tell Mr Starr. That Miss Lynn says hello, but who knows if he'll remember me. That was 1994!

It's a YA thing that I'm very excited about!
