Itinerary

Monday, 5:00 pm: Hand in 21-page seminar paper. Feel proud, done.

Tuesday, 8:45 am: Typhoid. Bruised arm, $85.

Tuedsay: 9:00 am-8:00 pm: Feel too keyed up to read or write 24 hour exam. Fritter precious time away.

Tuesday 8:10 pm: Become lost in Fountain Valley. Discover streets don't connect. Note number of fountains, slightly higher than normal.

Tuesday 8:50 pm: Call for help.

Tuesday 9:10 pm: Arrive at Japanese restuarant for Unbirthday dinner. Eat Wiener tempura. Not too bad.

Tuesday 10:00 pm: Discuss geological disaster, end of world, sheep in the singular.

Tuesday 12:00 pm: Make coffee. Begin writing on exam, laundry.

Wednesday 4:00 am: Talk to sister riding Beijing subway. Phone keeps cutting out. No idea what time it is there. She says, you don't need to bring anything, I'll take care of you.

Wednesday 5:30 am: Greek word count in exam about 6, including megalopsychos, suphrosone, arete, moira, apate dikaia, and dissoi logoi. Hopefully all used as correct parts of speech. Laundry done. Running on fumes. Can't close eyes.

Wednesday 9:00 am: Drop Goetz at SNA, proceed to Mother's Market for No-Jet-Lag. Contemplate ridiculousness of this when jet lag is least of worries. Mother's Market lousy with vegan PhDs eating fake eggs for breakfast.

Still to do: return 8,000 library books, grading, dishes.
