Я не свободна весь день :( Ohohohohoho, I can see I am about to stumble into that loop of unfaithful blogging again :P
7 courses this term - and I'm feeling it. This whole week alone I have done nothing - and I truly mean NOTHING else than translating Middle Egyptian texts (that means hieroglyphs). Yay! Or perhaps nay?

Ok ok I am not about to complain. I have come this far and I finally got my single wish in life. Getting here is only the beginning - it's keeping my two feet on the ground that is the real challenge . I thank God every single day that I am blessed enough to pursue what I truly love. I simply cannot fathom how people can separate passion from their work.
Weekend is finally here, and that means I.K.E.A! I have been sans study table for half a term now, it's about time I get one so I can dump more junk on top of it. I have complete confidence in my ineptitude in putting books on the shelf.
I am a little behind with Middle Egyptian, so that also means no real weekend for me. My life is defined through statives, participles and prospective sdm.n.fs.

| Homework. I kid you not. That is as literal as it could get. Jolly good time - like an Ancient Egyptian. |
Of course, more readings and essays. I would need to get a head start if I want that one week of adventure to myself on Reading Week. I have one paper due right in the middle of that blissful holiday (putting myself in the shoes of a Soviet publisher, no less). I am so not complaining about what is on top of my to-do-list. Not when I get to rant about one of the most magnificent female rulers in history ever.

| First thing due this term :) Maatkare, you please me so. |
How did Howard Carter survive all those years, endlessly working and uncovering layers after layers of history? I can only imagine the fortitude and perseverance the man must have possessed. I'd like to blame it all on the absence of internet (hence less distraction), but that would be the sloth in me talking. And finally, after all this time, I made my first entrance into the Far Eastern Library in the ROM. Then I stumbled upon a dissertation of one of my profs on Egyptology. Needless to say, bricks have been shat.
Say goodbye to at least the next 10 years of my life.
