I tried.

- Failed to produce something for who_at_50/who_at_50 in January. Cue guilt. I didn't foresee the massive amount of work I'd have to put into uni, especially at the beginning of term. So uh, I guess I'll try harder for February? Though I'm not sure it'll be what I'd originally planned, due to time restrictions... I might cave to temptation and write Liz/Rani... it's Femslash February, just sayin'.

- I also failed to even begin reading Option Lock for the henriettastreet readalong... a shame, as Xenophon's Anabasis is possibly the least riveting classic I've ever read, and that's what I've been trying to get through for most of the month.

- First class in Ancient Greek last night could have gone off to a better start, but it's... probably going to work out. I just don't know where I'm supposed to find the time to go through all the grammar as well as translating texts every week in between reading the bizarre amount of chapters I get for Antiquity. *Sigh* I'll manage, somehow.

- There should probably be something positive in this post... but I can't think of anything.

if you're hoping to read something engaging... don't read option lock.

... Can it actually be worse than Xenophon's "250 pages of Greeks and parasangs" tho'

[aralias]

i don't know*. i haven't read xenophon's anabasis... that said, i haven't read all of option lock either. because it is so boring.

*this is not true. i'm pretty sure the xenophone is worse, but if you're looking for something spritely to read to get you out of it... frankly you could do better.

Weeell, it's not like I'm going to have that much time to read this month anyway... but at least I know I don't have to feel bad about missing out on January.

I love the internet. It is full of enablers.
