I'd finished my indexing of Dante, and today Dr. L and I met to wrap up my last project for him--proofreading his translation of Medea. In the process, he told me that one of my former classmates in the department, having had a great first year at Yale, was recently the victim of a car accident and suffered a spinal injury. As far as I could tell, she isn't actually paralyzed, but it's unclear whether or not she's going to be walking anytime soon. He said that he'd visited her in the hospital, and that she was in good spirits and, apparently, a pretty lively conversationalist, but . . . what a thing.
She works hard for the money

Since April I've had a job with the Classics department scanning and cataloging projector slides (we have literally thousands of them, thanks for asking), but the funding for that runs out tomorrow, so. Less officially, I'm also working for Dr. L--I just finished doing footnotes for his translation of Euripides' Helen, and now I'm about to start doing indexes of characters for his upcoming translations of the Purgatorio and Paradiso, which is definitely more of a long-term project, and also, I guess, a way of making myself finally read Dante.
