It is a beautiful day in Chicago today. So naturally I am sat inside an Einstein’s Bagels at the University of Chicago campus while my friend is working at her cancer research lab dissecting mice and saving lives (I seem to have a disproportionate amount of friends in the sciences, in great contrast to the frippery that is the Classics), while I am begrudgingly translating Tyrtaeus (or trying to, but not very hard), and surreptitiously judging the people buying hazelnut lattes.
Now that I’m no longer applying to UCLA or Berkeley because the way their fellowship works precludes me from ever getting any money from them, ever (the prof at Berkeley I wanted to work with called my advisor up and told him that their fellowship depends on you getting California residency after one year, which, as a foreign student, I am never going to get, and I will think of that as the reason they rejected me and not because I don’t know any Latin), U of C is my top choice for grad school when I finish with Vanderbilt.
SPRING BREAK! WHOO!

1. I’m four blocks away! Tumblr, you are crazy. 2. Leave Einstein’s immediately and proceed to the Classics Cafe, second floor of the Classics building. Thank you. Enjoy.
