School
Today is commencement at Westminster. Obviously I'm not going to be there. Even if I were a student there this semester, I don't think I'd have gone. I didn't go last year.
I can't see a way to continue going to school. It looked hard when it was just 3 kids, a house and a family to maintain. It looked very hard when it was 3 kids including a homeschooled autistic kid with mental health problems and an almost-chronically ill 5 year old, a house and a family to maintain. Now it looks flatly impossible.
Still, I'll work on my Hebrew and read a little bit in one of the books I know will be assigned next semester. I finished one of the books I know will be on the reading list and I hope I can do two or three more this summer. It'll be easier to read them now. Keeping up with Hebrew isn't so hard. I don't want to get too rusty jut in case. I'm translating Genesis 35 where God takes Jacob, blesses him and changes his name to Israel. Jacob didn't really want to be Israel. I imagine he was pretty happy doing his own thing as Jacob, at least until he left his sweet gig under Laban. After that he'd had a pretty hard road up to this point and it gets harder still after God blesses him.
I've given up trying to teach myself Greek this year. I just don't have the uninterrupted time. Maybe next year.
