добар дан

well i've been up since 7:15 on my sleep-in day on account of chris having to wake up at the crack of dawn to teach. unfortunately i hate 2 out of my 3 classes and hence can't motivate myself to do any work. i have a problem set due tomorrow, and then everything else is more project-like, for example a book review and a research paper. BLEH.

seeing as how much i love Early Slavic Linguistics and texts, I got back on a Slavic kick. i've been brushing up on my Bulgarian, studying some Polish, and even was looking at PhD programs for Slavic Linguistics in Chicago. why am i so OCD....? kasia and i were also discussing the possibility of Poland next summer with our respective lovers. this would obviously be amazing. i just wish i had some idea of where the fuck i will be and if i will have a job and/or money to finance it.

last night chris and i went out to kingston station for dinner. its a bistro in downtown crossing, and we were for the most part pleased with everything. my sweet potato gnocchi with scallops was delicious, while chris' chicken milanese left something to be desired. nonetheless the atmosphere was fun and the drinks were good, so I would consider coming back. i just wish i lived downtown...it is always somewhat depressing to have to retreat back to allston or brookline. if only everything weren't so fucking expensive.

on today's agenda all i have is class at 1. i need to go grocery shopping but if i want to be able to purchase christmas gifts, i had best reconsider that. oh this life...
