Clearly I have been studying and thinking about Ancient Greek a bit too much. All day long I have been incorporating the Greek alphabet into everything I have written today. I think it's mainly the combination of studying for the Greek midterm last night, all this morning, then taking my midterm for it and also being fairly exhausted. I'm just glad the test wasn't too atrocious.
μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε' ἔθηκε,
πολλὰς δ' ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προί̈αψεν
ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν
οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι, Διὸς δ' ἐτελείετο βουλή

Programming and DKA
Okay, so I extremely dislike programming. I understand how it works, why it works and the general idea of how things should be. However, whenever I try to do anything, it fails.
I think it irks me so much because I don't like that it requires perfection. I wish it was more like a human language, where, even if it's a bit jumbled and not quite right, people still understand what you're saying. I think that's why I'm much better at spoken languages and NOT programming languages.
I'm glad I do understand it though. Going into game production, understanding programming will definitely help when talking to programmers without sounding like a retard.
I just hope I can do it well enough to get through my class this semester.

On a completely different note, I am in a fraternity. I find this both hilarious and cool. I never thought I would be in a fraternity, but considering it's an AWESOME cinema fraternity, it's totally awesome. This is the first semester it's been alive in quite a while. Delta Kappa Alpha was an fraternity that existed when George Lucas was at USC, he was in it. I think that's nifty.
I also like that they are trying to get people from both the film side and video game side so we can cooperate to make super awesome cinematic works of art. However, at the moment there are few gamers...but I plan to change that. By running for Recruitment Chair. It's going to be awesome.
