A. R. and I somehow (between laughing at our notes) combined powers to prepare for Dr. Reed's exam. Together we had both written every word she uttered over the past month, some of these words being highly amusing. Fortunately, the exam focused on only the topics she had mentioned it would, which was all I bothered to study. Ausgezeichnet.
Over the weekend Steve graded my Greek exam. He said I missed things he was surprised I should have missed (I had not studied until the morning of), but I still made a "B+". Ausgezeichnet. The next passages (Plato's speech, I think) contain dialogue, which is usually easier to translate, since speech patterns between languages (the ones I have studied, anyhow) echo each other much of the time.
Saturday night I fired my very first employee. He has had it coming almost from his first day. More elaboration later, perhaps.
