Don't want to put you off
But I've heard America is *whispers* full of Americans...

(How'd it go, by the way? EDIT - just seen your reply to Amberl above)

Ok, maybe Canada then
Go and stalk Regine Chassagne, bring her home in a little box and feed her biscuits.

Not bad for starting revision at 11am this morning. Went a long way on a broad but not deep knowledge of greek tragic plots, then described a picture, fantasised about food for 10 mins, and got thoroughly rained on.
Could be worse. Need to work hard for Thursday's, though, it's a morning exam and pretty damn hard.

I don't know whether morning or afternoon is worse for an exam
I suppose with a morning one, one gets it out the way faster, but then if one wants to celebrate afterwards then one usually ends up being trollied and rather sleepy by about 5pm. But at least, unlike an afternoon one, one doesn't spend the entire morning fretting and cramming for it. Still, glad to hear today's went alright.

I think I'm meeting my sister for a late lunch, she's down for her work meeting thingy
Which'll be nice. She finished uni on Wednesday, I'm fucking terrified. She's OLD now.

I'll need luck for Thursday's. It's much harder and I don't have much background knowledge to fall back on :(

OLD? How do you think I feel?
(Not that it worries me, I see it as my body catching up with my perpetually middle-agred brain)

What's Thursday's one about then?

Yeah, she's turning 23 in a couple of months :P
It's called from Late Antiquity to Byzantium, so about the fall and split of the Roman Empires and the rise of Christianity and all that shit.
I love it.

I don't suppose
you've read 'The Fall of Rome and the End of Civilization' by Bryan Ward-Perkins have you?

I could start tomorrow? :D

I only ask
because my tutor wrote it. It might be slightly later than your period though

Edit: apparantly not. He specialises in Late Antiquity

it might even be on the reading list :P

( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 1 Jun 2010, 18:12, Reply)

quite possibly :P
I'm given to understand it is quite seminal. But my period is much earlier

Ah, ok, but I thought that was your favourite bit?
Or is that the bit just before the Early Church bit?
To be honest, all I know about Byzantium is that there's a variation on the minor scale named after it. Don't imagine that will be much help.

Still, good luck revising that one. I must dash, I've been asked to play bass for the house band at the blues jam tonight. _{(YAY! I feel accepted!)}

It is my favourite bit. It's just quite hard.
Ooh good luck! Well done :)
