Hello, all!

First I shall start by introducing myself. Sisypheria is my "feminization" of Sisyphus, a mythical Greek. Because I have studied the Classics for all of my high school career, you can expect to see many allusions.

Now that I'm in college...my Greek is getting soooo much better! I have the coolest, most brilliant Classics professor... So you can imagine that I'll produce more classically inclined pieces.

Warning I fractured the side and back of my skull back in May of 2010 and injured most of my brain, but mainly the frontal lobe. That means my language might not be up to par with what it used to be. So far I've gotten a lot better; I just get tired. So thank God. :)

And with that, enjoy! ;)

16th of September, 2010

I somehow have managed to get out of seeing the neurologists for a while! I'm really happy. And Greek II is going incredibly well. ...As well as my other classes, but I wanted to stress that particular one. I'll probably be too busy to come up with work for right now, but maybe later in the fall I'll submit things. We'll see.

For those of you interested, my fanfiction account on fanfictiondotnet is also Sisypheria.
