I love my kid sister. I got to help her out with a precal problem earlier today - neither mom nor she could figure out what was wrong, but they couldn't get a meaningful answer. Kirsten to the rescue! I was able to remember how to solve this kind of problem - go me! I haven't forgotten all the math I ever knew, contrary to my assumptions. Hooray!

Unfortunately, my time management is still not as good as it could be. I have a good 25 lines worth of Latin to translate from the Vulgate Bible. Translation's fun, sure... but when there's a German exam to study for and finish tomorrow before class at 12:30, and I know I'm losing an hour between 10 and 11 for discussing the translation with Brown... yeah. I'm tired already. And I *know* I'm going to confuse some Latin with my German when I'm taking that exam. Since I've resuscitated the Latin skills, whenever I'm trying to piece together a sentence in German, I come up with odd Latin remnants bubbling to the surface of my mind (let's see, 'by'... that's a, or an ablative absolute... NO that's Latin, what's the German? oh yeah, 'von', takes the dative). It's funny though. And I'm still doing ok in German, though I'd like to do better. Gotta buckle down and make flashcards, memorize all the vocabulary and grammar again. But it's worth it.

BUT enough negativity. I've been pretty happy lately, and I plan to stay that way. Just need to stay on the ball with work, GRE studying and grad school applications and not spend too much time flicking. Oddly enough, I haven't worried much at all since I resolved to quit last week, and I've gotten a fair chunk o' stuff done. Yaay me.

Anyway, enough writing for fun. I think I'm going to sleep for five hours, do this translation, brush up on german, maybe start the exam, meet with brown, finish the german exam, and go to german and art history. I think I'll be collapsing around 3. Someone please make sure I go to silkscreening, as I don't want to miss another class...
