Last night, I was planning out this entry about how much I loathed my Greek professor at that moment. Translating 25 sentences took Ben and me a full three and a half hours...at the very least. Tuesday's class dumped something like six verb paradigms on our heads, and in the homework were two more we had yet to go over. Serious whiplash is ensuing from accelerating from 35 mph to 80 mph.
After today's class I'm not harboring so much hatred anymore, but I have a butt-load of Greek to memorize. 6 units worth of vocabulary and quite a few paradigms. Much work this weekend, including 700 pages of Nietzchealsdjf to slog through and the book of Leviticus (with all the outside readings added to that). Oh yeah, and we probably have to read some lame book for Pointless Practice too.
Oddly enough, I'm not stressed out, as I sit here, preparing myself to finally write that God-forsaken paper on Augustine that was due two weeks ago.
Ah, the life of a seminarian...
