-აიღე შენი წილი ნიგუზალი და გაეთრიე გარეთ! მხარს ვუჩერ მასწავლებელს. რომული გადის, მე კი უბედურება მატყდება თავს.

-რა გვქონდა გაკვეთილად, ვაშალომიძე?

-სოლვეის ხერხით სოდის მიღება!

-აბა, გამოდი დაფასთან!

-Take your part of the firebrand (from the stove) and go outside! I take the teacher’s side. Romuli goes outside, but calamity strikes me.

-What were we covering (lit. what did we have as a lesson), Vashalomidze?

-Getting soda (sodium carbonate) with Solvay’s method.

-Well, come to the board!

-I will not go to bed until I finish this last part of the self-assessment for the grant report. Then it’s just finances, data summary, and blurbs for them to use to get more money, I guess.

-Committee meeting tomorrow to figure out how I should go forward with this project.

-აქ ვარ, პატივცემულო მასწავლებელო!

-მასეთი ყოფნა და არყოფნა ერთი და იგივეა!

-ყოფნა-არყოფნა, საკითხავი აი ეს არის - ამბობს რომული პათიტიკურად.

-რომული კალანდაძე, გაბრძანდი გარეთ!

-სიცივეა, მასწავლებელო!

//

-Here I am, respected teacher!

-Such presence and absence are one and the same!

-To be or not to be, that is the question- says Romuli with pathos.

-Romuli, K’alandadze, go outside!

-It’s cold, teacher!

Gradblr Challenge 10

Back in the saddle, armed with antibiotics! Thank u to everyone for the encouragement & support!! 

Today I got through most of the major write-up portion of the final grant report. Although I feel l like spending 500 words on how the aims of the project were met, and then 500 on the outcomes, and then 500 on the impact gets a little redundant. Hopefully my colleague will have more to add once he looks it over.

-ავად გახდა, მასწავლებელო, და ჭყონიამ, ცენტერაძემ, ბურჭულაძემ, ქორიძემ და ღლონტმა გააცილეს სახლში.

-მთელი კლასი ვერ გაყევით? - იკითხა გულჩვილმა მასწავლებელმა.

-ხელის მოსაკიდებელი ადგილი აღარ დარჩა, თორემ მივყვებოდით.

-ვაშალომიძე, ვაშალომიძე, ვა-შა-ლო-მი-ძე! - ყვირის მასწავლებელი და ხელს მაგიდაზე ურტყამს.

-He got sick, teacher, and Ch’q’onia, Tsenteradze, Burch’uliadze, Koriadze and Ghlonti accompanied him home.

-The whole class couldn’t bring him home? - asked the tender-hearted teacher.

-There wasn’t a place left to hold his hand, or else we would have gone.

-Vashalomidze, Vashalomidze, Va-sha-lo-mi-dze! - shouts the teacher and bangs his hands on the desk.

Today’s mood: 

Turns out my roommate gave me pinkeye, so I made today an official sick day and just did the bare minimum of errands: dr’s, therapy, mailing my laptop off.

Gradblr Challenge 07/08

THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE I HAVE TO MAIL MY COMPUTER TO THE MANUFACTURER.

I’m going to use this as an opportunity to be flexible and not fall into a pit of despair. I’m using our field laptop, which was already shitty 2 years ago and runs an outdated version of Windows 8. But I can still work on the grant report and answer emails and maybe even transcribe should I need to, so that’s a little silver lining.

Today I try to become a langblr! I’m gonna start with some comically small daily tasks and see how I keep it up.

So for Georgian, I’m going to go through Georgian Language and Culture: A Continuing Course, which is what I used my last year of college. Gonna skip the dialogues at the beginning though, because those are all super clunky.

So first up is prose translation! And the first excerpt is from მე, ბებია, ილიკო და ილარიონი! I did this one for class, but years ago! My goal is five lines a day, but that’s basically nothing today, since everything here is names lmao.

General note for anyone interested: bolded words are those I didn’t know. I’m open to including ipa/latin alphabet transcriptions if anyone wants that ahaha.

-ჩიგოგიძე!  >>    Chigogidze!

-ვარ, მასწავლებელო!  >> Present, teacher!

-კალანდაძე! >> Kalandadze!

-აგერ ვარ, მასწავლებელო! >> I’m here, teacher!

-სიხარულიძე! >> Sikharulidze!

Gradblr Challenge 06

I spent all day with my computer immersed in rice, trying to reverse the damage done by spilling water all over the keyboard ):

Initial prognosis: possible success. The backlight stopping freaking out and the keys seems to be responding normally.

Tomorrow I’ll get back to the grant report, and I think, inspired by @smetanovarevoluce I’m going to add a little langblr flair! Daily Georgian and maybe also daily Russian.
