Very pleasant day with my mom. I always enjoy the few chances we have when we’re both fully awake and only with each other. Kind of the best.
Read a paragraph of ancient Greek today—haltingly, and with reference to the alphabet for pronunciation tips—but it happened, and I’m happy about it.

“If we go forward, we die; if we go backward, we die. So let’s go forward and die.”

I learned today that the key to a good cover letter is to do a lot of research on the company you want to be hired to work for. Find specific people, treat the resume/CL process like you’re a salesperson specifically looking to solve a specific person’s problem.
So…I did research on the Advisory Board. Now I want the job even more. I’ll be semi-crushed if I don’t get it, but I know how these things go.
