Well, thank somebody, I'm over a cold, pretty much. All of this week I've been scuffling into classes, babysitting between blowing my nose, then going home to lay down for a while. Today, things are solid, I played basketball with some students, and made it through an entire day without thinking that I was way too tired to be doing any of it. All very, very good because less than a week from now I have to take the GRE, and to avoid looking like a fool on it, I need to finish my personal refresher course in algebra and geometry. The GRE doesn't seem to have difficult or even challenging concepts, but I need to be able to do them quickly. And I should also touch up on my vocab, too. Also, I have to prepare for next saturdays GRE Lit test.
So I have my weekend sorted out then. Lots of practice tests.
And all this in the middle of a good movie month here in Silistra. By the time certain movies come here, a person develops a certain reverance for them, and I let Man on Fire, which I saw last night, get by with a lot. It was entertaining, yes, but I keep toying the idea that it was actually a good film. Terrible ending, great acting, meh, I don't know. And by this time, Collateral, which is playing this week, might as well be a lock for Best Picture. All this talk of great acting n' stuff. I'll probably wind up seeing collateral next Wednesday, as a relaxer before the bus ride down to Sofia.
So that's where we stand, creepy warm weather, no cold, and a bunch of books waiting for me when I get home. Later.
