Evidently I'm horrible at blogging.
What should you know?
CSSA is almost in full gear.
Sexual relationship did not happen.
Sexual happenings did happen when my ex visited. I am ashamed. No self-control. It has created a bit of a mess.
Self-revelation - I can't handle a relationship right now. Which is great because I don't want one.
I am still in love with a very beautiful, very brilliant man. Some days it hurts to do so since I'll never be with him, but on other days his existence and the fact that I know him is enough to keep me happy.
Anyway, for real, fuck this blog shit. Microblogging is the way of the future. It is spontaneous. TWITTER >>>

SHAMBLES
My life. In shambles. Correct.
It's been a month since I've blogged. Yes. Life has been so whirlwind and generally FUCKED.
I am busy.
I am reading a lot.
I am doing a lot of homework.
I am in a lot of love with someone. Too much love in fact. He doesn't know and maybe he never will, because it's against the rules.
Peter and I fell apart. Not nicely. I still love him. He still loves me. We should still be together but we're not. Actually we haven't been since February. These things are confusing but we still had a nice "Happy Two Years of Being In Love" on the 5th.
I am sort of seeing someone new. SORT OF. This is a relationship based on sex. Sex which hasn't happened yet, but might happen soon. I don't know how to feel, mainly because of how I still feel about Peter and because I am kind of head over heels for the aforementioned off-limits too-beautiful prospect.
School is alright, surprisingly. Last week was Fall Reading Week. Got a lot done. Wish I had more time off.
CSSA is slowly crawling forward. Co-Presidency here I come.
I've added a handy little widget on the right side of this page. As I said, I update Twitter quite often, so if you care, you can read my tweets. :D But I have more followers on there than on here so, eh.
I CAN'T SLEEP.
I'm done.

Good morning starshine, the earth says hello
As usual, I have been a crappy blogger. What else is new?
I'm not going to apologize, and instead will blame this on my Twitter account.
www.twitter.com/jjjjeah
I do a lot of microblogging. Why is this? Because it is short, simple, instant. I feel like I am living life and commenting on it instead of plotting out what to say on a blog like this. HOWEVA. I am not abandoning you, ye olde bloge. I still love you, because I love things a lot this year.
School has obviously begun. I am VERY happy! Things have been going really great so far, and working on my day off/ a few hours on one other day of the week is awesome because it frees up my weekends. I'm on track with most of my work so far, even though having five courses/ thirty-three credits is slightly dizzying. I like everything so far though.
Second-year Latin is being taught by Professor Surtees, since Lewis is on sabbatical. I like Surtees so I'm happy with this. She's so sweet and we also started off with review of subjunctive, so we weren't just cast into a void of nothingness.
Second-year Greek is being taught by PROFESSOR MATTHEW CLARK, who is the CLAS/ CLST program coordinator, and who is EFFING AMAZING. Not only are we doing the ENTIRE Greek textbook over again, but he goes on these fascinating tangents about linguistics or Homeric epic and he is such a dear old man and he was in jail with Noam Chomsky. I really enjoy his class, and I'm actually going to meet with him on Friday for program-specific advising/ discussion.
History 2100 - that is, Ancient Greece and Rome - is fairly amazing so far. Professor Edmonson is so enthusiastic and British that I think he might explode during lectures. Professor Kelly hasn't lectured yet, but I have sat in on his lectures before. He's very pro-Augustan, but also hot, so I forgive. The readings are decent too. We're doing the Odyssey now, which I am less than thrilled about since I despise Homer, but the textbook on Ancient Greece we've got is ace. I'm still not too sure about my TA for this course though. He seems very stern and I don't think he likes me :( I miss Professor Fisher's tutorials!
Social Science 2600 - Introduction to the Study of Religion - hasn't given me much time to form an opinion on it. I've had one lecture (with a lovable jackass prof) and one tutorial (with a semi-lovable TA), both of which I enjoyed, but everything has been introductory so far so I can't say what I think. Though the textbooks are pretty interesting (though bloody fucking expensive!).
Humanities 3110 is likely my favourite course this year. Roman Culture and Society. And I love my course director (I call him that as I don't think he's a prof yet). He's really young and excited about what he's teaching and I love that SO much. Plus the books we read are wicked. I think I have to read about Sulla and Pompey for tomorrow's class?
Other than school, not much has been going on. Anna is in Scotland. I've been spending too much money. I've been working on taking over the presidency of the Classical Studies Students' Association. No big deal. Haha.
Yeah so I guess that's it. Got to go forage for friends right now as I'm not sure where Mike is, and we have HIST 2100 tutorial in forty-five minutes!

Eep
I was going to write some sort of chippery blog, until I read Ambrosia's. She witnessed someone die on Thursday and I really feel awful for her. :(
But anyway. It's been a decent week. Sunday we went to Nonna's for Johnny's birthday. I saw ultrasound photos of Christina and Gio's baby! Ahh! She's three months along now and they already have names picked. Scarlett Marie for a girl and Cesare Agusto (after Gio's late father) for a boy. I'm kind of hoping it's a boy. How cool would it be to have a cousin named Caesar Augustus?? Very cool. Either way, the kid is going to be spoiled. Jen and I alone were already making plans on what we'd buy! And we're probably going to help paint the baby's room as well because we don't want the fumes to bother Christina.
Monday was Peter's birthday. My present ended up being a lame-ass playlist with memory-inducing songs. He says he liked it and that it was sweet and that I'm amazing, but who knows if he was being truthful or not haha.
Work was alright this week. It got a bit crazy on Wednesday since we were preparing for the mail enrollment students, but Thursday was alright. The MEs are more attentive than the normal enrollment students. I might even sell books to one of them because she's taking HIST 1050 as a gen ed! Awesomeness.
Thursday, however, was interesting due to the weather around here. It was very bad. There were TORNADOES. In VAUGHAN. 600 homes damaged! It's insane. I was surprisingly calm but I'm a tad uneasy now that I've heard that this extreme weather can last into October.
What's nice is that Natalia came onto campus on Wednesday and I got to hang with her for a bit, and we also ran into Viki and Athina that day! Natalia came yesterday as well and brought Widad with her so we got to catch up in Second Cup for a bit (Widad's been in Israel).
My parents are leaving for Parry Sound this weekend so Emi and I have the house to ourselves, which is nice :D I have lots I want to get done today, and Rebecca is coming over later. Hurray!

Summer is finally here!
The "summer" weather has been weird this year. Lots of rain and intense storms with wicked lightning. TOO much rain though. This weekend has been fairy nice so far though! Since yesterday it's been really warm and sunny. Today there was a smog advisory! :D Officially summer in T.O!
I'm glad that the weather has been so nice because it's been a really great couple of days. Yesterday was really quiet in the office and I was allowed to just get my work done, make my phone calls, etc. I met Sarah for coffee because Second Cup was having their grand re-opening. I had a falafel for lunch first and then went over. There were delicious free samples and then I got a medium caramel corretto for only $2.09. Such a deal! I just hung with Sarah for a bit, talking about the party I had on the 8th. I'm really glad that everyone seemed to have a great time, and I always love just hanging with Sarah. It almost humbles me that someone so mature, so together, and so generally fucking awesome thinks I'm interesting enough to just meet up with for coffees. :)
When I got back to the office, Susy asked me if I wanted to work at SAS during the school year. Ecstatic! Income!!! Generally work/study students only work about 10 hours per week. I might have to go in on my Fridays off in order to do that but I won't have to work Friday evenings or weekends! I might have a life this year. Thank you, Jesus. Susy asked me to take the weekend to think about it but I'm def already decided.
It was a good evening as well, with a webcast from Beth, Kayla, and the kitties, and then a long conversation with Peter, whose 20th birthday is on Monday. I don't really know what to do in order to celebrate that fact with him considering he's quite far away. Still brainstorming though.
Today I had a blood test first thing in the morning. Then Mom and I went to Pennington's and I bought... a lot of things. $300 worth. EEP. I'm getting paid next Thursday though so I think I'll be alright. Obviously I've got a lot of money saved up but I need to buy my books soon. I'm just waiting on my credit card app response (I applied at Alterna - 9.99% interest rate kicks ass!). I did buy seven nice tops though. Well, two are shawls. Woteva. I need to be comfy yet look professional since I'm going to keep working at SAS!
I went to Shoppers as well. Bought waxing sugar. I waxed my arms for the first time today. It wasn't as bad as I thought! I do have a bruise in the crook of my left arm though. That one hurt!
I did some exam review for History of Astronomy - final's on the 25th - before watching Wednesday's episode of the Philanthropist - series I've been watching starring the very sexy James Purefoy - which I PVRed. Now I'm watching Full Metal Jacket for the fourth time since December because it's on and Emi has never seen it.
Not too much planned tomorrow. It was Johnny's birthday the other day so we're going over to Nonna's. I'm excited for Monday because the new episode of True Blood will be online. I am fucking addicted to that show! I'll be sad to see Becky though - her boyfriend left for Scotland today to do nine months of teacher's college. Bummer. Why do all these awesome people for whom I hold a lot of affection have to go through the same crap I did with Peter? I wouldn't even wish this upon an enemy!
Anyway. I'm already rather tired but I will watch through FMJ.

My old friend, I swear I never meant for this
Honest, I didn't mean to leave this blog for over a MONTH! I suppose not enough was happening from day-to-day for me to update...
Well, in the last month, I have done the following:
worked, made friends, bonded with the Moon, reacquainted myself with mathematics/ physics, kissed ass, drunk coffee, craved Indian food, gone to New York State, had a sunburn, cried myself to sleep, got a 93% on my midterm, fallen gently out of and violently back in love with more than one person, saw old friends, made new ones, gotten drunk, protected myself from HPV, felt small, missed being in school full-time, spent too much money, decided to eat healthy again, threw a surprise party, ridden in a convertible, watched lightning at 4 a.m., hoped for a better future. :)
That's about it.
I've started to buy my books. I've also decided to buy a bookcase. School starts in about three and a half weeks. Exciting! Eeeeeeeeerrrrrr!

Technology, how I love thee
So I've been disconnected from the wider world for about a week and a half because my power adapter decided to, um, die.
But now it has been replaced for free (thank you warranty!) and I am alive.
I also enrolled into my courses on Monday! I didn't get into World Religions at first but more spaces opened up on Tuesday morning so I got in, and also into the tutorial I wanted.
Schedule!
http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1283/picture3mug.png
Fridays off which is nice, and if I get asked back as a work/study to SAS in the fall, I can work 8 hours between Monday and Friday. Great success!
I'm actually super thrilled about 3110, Roman Culture and Society. Classical Athens was full so I needed to pick that as a back-up and it actually works out super nicely for me :)
Well, I will try to update more often now, but I am quite busy with work, TV shows, and LA/GK review!
