Athenian Staircases

are nearly as terrifying as Athenian drivers. Wet marble is really slippery. Uneven wet marble spiral staircases are life threatening.


Things are going well- I officially added a fifth class to my schedule today, and I'm now taking Latin again. I'm glad- I was really nervous about taking a semester off, and we're reading Pliny the Younger's Epistulae, which are cool. I like Pliny. I also like my other classes. We are reading the most disgusting description of the plague in Thucydides book 2. It's nifty. I now know the word for bile. And fever. And hiccups.
