I'm working on a shirt design for the Honor's society and I need someone to translate something into Greek- can anyone here do that?

Sorry, but I've got Persian if you ever need it.

Anyone live near Montreal?

Any chance you can make it up here?

Sorry, just saw this.
I'm working in academia at present. The pay is considerably lower than private sector. I can't afford to travel outside Europe, at present.
It just so happens the project I'm working on requires dissemination and one of the venues is in Montreal. They're paying.

Update ya'll: I just completed a summer intensive course in Russian language. I passed with flying colors and currently rock a fantastic GPA. I am enrolled at Arizona State University for this Fall as well, majoring in Russian with an Arabic studies minor, officially, while working toward a Balkan Studies interdisciplinary. I now have a job in Student Financial Services at said institution and I am working all day every day until August 23, where I will switch to a just-beyond-part-time schedule and begin the school session. I am currently living on my own in Tempe, and will be receiving a room mate in the latter half of next month.

I've gone from rock bottom to doing pretty well for myself in the past year.

Congrats!!

I tried to take Russian once and ended up having to transfer out, so huge props to you for that one. Glad things are finally looking up for you as well.

Google Translate is my new best friend!! xd

I think it was having to learn a whole new alphabet, more than anything else, that defeated me. At the time I didn't really have the patience for that. sweatdrop

Thoroughly reasonable. Even after completing basic Russian, most of my classmates were still having trouble reading consistently. In handwriting, a lot of letters that already look similar (как: н и м т ж) look even more alike. It can be very frustrating!

Spent the summer doing research on counter-cultural movements/rituals/attitudes in NeoPaganism.

Wound up spending a week with Reclaiming folks and crafted a ritual with Starhawk.

I don't know what my life is anymore.

Hope everybody's doing well.

Trying my hand at school again at the end of this month (paralegal, wut).

I bet it was awesome!

I'm kinda jealous though, the last time I had good tea was the last time I saw you.
