aaaah! i have not one, but two readings! because there is also a seminar next wednesday! plus a chorus reading! plus and i was supposed to know the greek alphabet already! and i think also some euclid! and to have had a meningitis vaccination and a physical, which i'm not sure how to get because i'm between insurance policies! and the enormous packet of papers they gave me yesterday were all marked 'due by 15 June'! aaaaaaah!
also, i can't for the life of me figure out what i'm supposed to wear to convocation, or if i'm supposed to care. the closest available options for meeting the 'formal dress' requirement are a tarty black silk cocktail dress or office attire, and the only information i really got, when i asked, were that jeans, sneakers, and prom dresses were all Bad Ideas, which, while not actively frowned upon, might be laughed at.
also: aaaaaaaah!

Seminar on Wednesday? Really? That's scandalous.
My recollection from convocation is we were mostly dressed in a range from cleaner versions of what we were wearing that morning to shirt with buttons. But maybe I'm misremembering. I'm positive I did not wear a dress, because I don't if I can get away with it.
it's a practice seminar, in fairness. they have everyone read the meno, conduct mini-seminars, and then at the end there's a sort of post-mortem where the tutors make sure everyone understands the format. it's only for first-years, both undergrad and GI.
fear not, there's also seminar as usual on thursday. (although they do have early seminars here, which *is* scandalous. it's still light out!)
Office attire should do just fine.
The only thing you really need to know about the Greek alphabet is that ξ looks like a kitty-cat.
