• Memberships to WorldCon 2011: Renovation will go up in price on Oct. 1. I haven't yet bought my membership, but I am totally planning on going. Particularly because Reno, Nevada is within driving distance on Santa Fe, NM. (I mean, sure, it's like 17-18 hours worth of driving, but it's totally doable.) It's a shame that I'll turn 22 this December, because the Young Adult memberships are like... $80 cheaper than regular memberships. Sigh. The price of getting older is, apparently, $80.
• I got my first paper back from my Greek tutor, and I am looking forward to expanding it into at least a 10 page paper for seminar later this year. He even pointed something out that will really help me out. So that's awesome. And, despite the fact that I pounded it out in like... an hour when I wrote it, his comments on it consist of questions that will only help me, and "Great start on some fine questions." Whoo!
• I have decided that I am definitely going to the "live in HD" showing of Das Rheingold at the theatre here on October 9th. Because it's too good to pass up. I'm only telling a few friends about it, because I a) don't want tickets to sell out—though, maybe I ought to get them in advance—and b) I don't want to go with people I don't want to share this with. I am sneaky.
• Mom is home, and will hopefully be home for a while. She's coming to Parents' Weekend here at school, and that should be interesting. Since my dad has met all my tutors and he was just at Homecoming here, he's not going to come. Which I am ok with. My mom will probably have fun. I am looking forward to sharing my readings with her so she knows what's going on.
• I'm trying to convince some people I know here that for Halloween they want to go as a group of Sandman's Endless. With me as Death (of course) and some other people as Desire, Delirium, Destiny, Destruction. I have no idea who I should ask to be Dream, and I don't think anyone will want to be Despair, hah. I'm pretty set on being Death this year, even if I don't get a group to do a theme.
• Speaking of costumes, I'm kind of dressed like 21 year old Wednesday Adams today. Which is kind of hilarious. It makes me think that next year for Halloween I ought to go as Slutty Teenage Wednesday Adams. Because that would be awesome and hilarious.
• And now I have to go back to translating Greek.
