brief update

School is going ... ok.  The dialogues give me a headache, and I feel like I'm not picking up as quickly as I would like.  But it is coming along: I'm spending more time drilling at home, and I think this will pay off.

Yesterday we had a short cooking class and learned how to make Greek stuffed tomatoes (ΝΤΟΜΑΤΕΣ ΓΕΜΙΣΤΕΣ).  Sunday we have a planned excursion to a τσικουδιά (tzikoudia, or raki) factory, which I'm sure will be quite fun and intoxicating, but I will have to miss it as the family will be going on our long-anticipated trip to Phaistos and other spots which I'm sure will be even more fun, if not quite as intoxicating.  Poor me.

  1. Pour on the effort and it will all pay off. These things come in bursts, and unexpected... especially when booze is involved. So bottoms up!
