More Thoughts
Jan. 18th, 2008 01:59 pmI've been feeling scattered and shattered as they say here. I keep seeing all I need to accomplish and have a hard time being aware of what I have done. I think that's part of why I find this time before I go home so hard and looking at what's in front of me.
I've translated two odes of Pindar from the original Greek and will translate another one this weekend. He's one of the harder poets to translate since he loves complex and strange sentences. Last year I got a Bachelor with Honours which is the equivalent of the first of year of a masters in the States. I've lived on my own in New Zealand and held jobs that allowed me to support myself.
What I have left ahead of me is just a couple of big papers but I used to write large papers all the time at Randolph-Macon. So time for a change of perspective, I have a strong first chapter that just needs to be expanded, a good start for my second chapter that needs to be expanded and tightened, and a fascinating poem to translate.
Also I get to go home in less than a month and on the way home will get to meet one of my new Milliways' friends, these are things worth celebrating. I don't think I'll be able to make it to Kapcon since I'm meeting again with Diana on Monday. Sorry Paul and guys in Wellington, I just don't think its going to happen. Right, I feel a bit better and if I start getting too negative, everyone is welcome to poke me and go look at what you've done already.
