A thousand things more important than my thesis

[rhyll]

The last few days have been exhausting. Moving house and unpacking and frantic preparation for today's classes and then cycling to Greek. I have a lot of catching up to do, and it feels like this week is already full to the brim with not much room left over: I still have to clean up Matlock for the rent inspection, and look after Ms C after her wisdom teeth get removed, and catch up with the think tank since Dr C is off to Cyprus soon. And I am dying to play with my typewriter, and do some gardening, and finish the story I am writing with Lisaface Zippertum. Not to mention all the extra catchups I want to do, and haiku to write, and accordion to practice, and family I am missing.

Anyway! Question time!

So, I have been thinking of doing my Greek exam next month. Only problem is, the exam is difficult, and I don't really have an adequate vocabulary yet. I could do a heap of preparation for the next month and maybe pass, and even if I fail it's not too big a deal because I can always resit. Or I could wait until the next exam, which may be at the end of the year or may be next year. What do you think?

Allow me to say, in a very stern voice - "you have a thesis to write". Greek exams can wait. STERN.

Hmm. You're probably right.

To play Devil's Advocate. If you get this out of the way towards the end of your thesis it may open up more opportunities once you are done especially if the other options are to wait until late this year or next year.
Though even the devil partially agrees with Boxer.

The devil always partially agrees with me. He's always saying I take it one step too far. You know what? The Devil doesn't take it too far enough.
