Day +1

Ok... Obviously I can't work... I can't go back to school for at least a year... What am I going to do with my time? God willing, I now have some time. I suppose the best use of my time will be to solidify my knowledge base so that I am fully prepared for graduate school. Most of that work involves language study. I have to have a proficient reading knowledge of French and German. My Latin and Greek have to be in peak condition, not to mention my at-the-ready knowledge of ancient history and literature. This means studying the key figures from Homer to Constantine in more depth than I did when I was in college and re-reading the literature itself like the Oresteia, Argonautika, and Aeneid. I'm going to spend some time today making some lists and checking them twice. My Spanish studies will be what I do for fun. It will be interesting to see how much I can accomplish here in the hospital. Sleep is at a premium here because they have to check my vital signs at midnight and then again at 4 AM when they draw my blood for labs in the morning. I also have a few religious projects I have to squeeze in somewhere, perhaps I can consider that weekend work. We'll see how long my hospital stay will actually be when I'm discharged, but assuming I'm here for another 3 weeks at least, I think I can get a considerable amount of review accomplished even if I'm drugged half the time.
