I know that I brought this upon myself. I really should have done more intensive research into studying abroad, and NOT on the day before my finals begin…but now it’s all I can seem to focus on. I just read a 40 page informational pdf on studying abroad in Paris, and now I’m looking at London.
No matter what, I will find a way to study abroad, but I’m just afraid it won’t be where and when I want it.
I’m too indecisive.

She is so beautiful.
This is a completely random thought, but I feel like the word “incredulous” could totally pass a spell in Harry Potter.
Hermione raised her wand, “Incredulous!”
or maybe, “INCREDULO!”
…
Okay, I’ve yet again proved what a nerd I am.
I don’t care. I love Harry Potter.
I’m going to go back to Shakespeare now.
What I really loved about having rain boots was the fact that I could step into a puddle that was several inches deep, and it didn’t matter. There was something satisfying about being able to keep my feet all dry and warm despite being submerged in cool, murky water. Unfortunately there’s a hole in my rain boot, and I can’t do that anymore, so I guess it’s time to buy another pair.
Maybe one adorned with fish, or a red birdie on a gun.
Maybe they’ll be blue like the sky on a sunny day…or black…like my soul >:]
Echo was cursed by Juno for distracting the goddess while Jupiter ravaged her fellow nymphs. She was only able to repeat the last words of those around her, and she fell in love with Narcissus who fled from her. Echo withered away until only her voice remained to be heard in caves, and Narcissus fell in love with himself, and all that remained of him was a flower. And what of Io? Turned into a cow by Jupiter in a failed attempt to hide his infidelity, and of course there was Argus whose thousands of eyes were placed upon the tails of peacocks by Juno. It was Dido who stabbed herself atop of the funeral pyre of objects which her sister Anna assembled for her because Aeneas with pietas was bid my Mercury to continue and fulfill his fate in Italy, where Juno sent a fury into the hearts of Queen Amata and Turnus, who assembled an army of herdsmen and then started a battle almost equal to the battle of Troy where Patroclus died for the Greeks, causing Achilles to reenter the battle despite the betrayal of Agamemnon who took Briseis a war prize. And Hector ran around the walls of Troy three times until Athena appeared to him and deceived him into stopping to fight and his corpse was mutilated by the Danaans and Achilles himself until Priam begged for the return of his son’s body and in Troy Hecuba and Andromache wailed and mourned for the death of honored son and husband.
My mind is starting to turn into a blur of Greek mythology and the Roman names for Gods. Still have to read books 4-15 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses and his Amores 1.1 plus Catallus’ Peleus Epic, the Aetia Prologue by Callimachus, and the Introduction to Vergil’s 6th Eclogue. Oh…in addition to identifications for paintings, sculptures and cities, rivers, and mountains of a Greek/Roman map.
That’s just for Classics.
Don’t even get me started on Shakespeare.
Over 830 pages to go….nice.

To the people who are obsessed with tumblarity:
I don’t care. It’s about the quality of what you have to say and show rather than the amount of things you can reblog & post
