In which I come to know, like Socrates, that I know nothing

In an attempt to figure out how to actually read the two (mostly defunct) blogs that I follow, I was prompted by the website to create my own so here I am. I was a disastrous keeper of diaries as a child and a previous attempt at a blog fell mostly by the wayside, so don't get your hopes up, non-existent readers.


However, what I hope to discuss here are my day-to-day experiences and confrontations with the ancient world as a student of  Classics (the crème de la crème of academic disciplines), interspersed with smatterings of my musings on life, friends, love, and velociraptors, and with a hearty dose of tidbits and curios found on the internet.


A further introduction will appear in due course (i.e. when I am not studying for my Greek midterm on Apollonius's Argonautika), but in short: Elizabeth. Classics major, Reed College, Class of 2012. New Yorker. Now Portlander. Utter nerd.


And now the "quote" of the day, which is quite apropos I think: ἓν οἶδα ὅτι οὐδὲν οἶδα.


Cheers.
