I realized tonight how long it has been since I wrote last...although I must add that there are not many new blogs as of late due to the fact that school started. Oh! and guess what!?! Third year is actually harder then second or first. So, needless to say I have settled into a routine of being busy. I study Greek anywhere from 2-3 hours a day, yes a day, minus Sabbath. Its pure craziness and the amount of reading I am doing is amazingly crazy as well. I say amazingly crazy because there is a lot of reading but I enjoy reading so in the end it all works out. So, as of late what have I been up to?
If I were writing a blog every night, which I would like to get back into the habit of doing, it might put some people to sleep and if you are already working a night shift or are just suffering from lack of sleep I do not want my blog to be the reason why you fell asleep when you shouldn't have. Ok! Get this too!! In order to understand Greek grammar...you have to understand english grammar! I have managed, for the past 21 years, to get away with not knowing much grammar, enough to get by but thats it. Now I am picking apart sentences like a vulture picks apart a carcass and I'm learning all about these crazy words like...I forgot them...oh well. They are crazy words that pertain to grammar that I don't like but am learning anyways. I am also taking homiletics which is a course on how to preach a sermon effectively. On top of this class there is evangelism, which is a course I would recommend to anyone who wears the name Christian. Acts/ Luke is a study of, well, Acts and Luke, once again a very good course. Last but not least European History which I enjoy. I decided something though, if they made the textbooks just a little smaller and cooler looking, more people would read it. For example, in some of my classes, actually all but European History, they are more like books, well they are books but I mean they are small and compact and easy to carry around thus making reading them fun (I also buy drinks based on the cool bottle...thank goodness I don't drink alcohol), whereas a big, bulky textbook is like looking at a big bottle of 7Up, its just unappealing. Whereas in a cool bottle or textbook it makes the person want to read it more...thats my two sense for today. Well, other then school work, which takes up most of my time in a day, I have also been organizing worship on Monday evenings and taking care of hall worship on Tuesday evenings. Tonight I spent 4 hours in the deans office just making myself available for any poor soul who happened to forget that keys are needed to unlock the door (I too have made this mistake more then once...even in my car once, on the upper level parking of Sears in Kingston and at a movie theatre with the lights on in the truck...CAA was needed for that one and we missed the movie), but yes I act as a sort of CAA dude in the dorm or toilet paper getter when someone runs out. So, what else can I report on...I'm looking around my room right now seeing if I can become inspired but alas nothing is coming to me. It is almost midnight and I have class at 9:30 so I should head to bed and sleep until my alarm clock goes off in the morning. I just wanted to touch base and let you all know I am alive and well just super busy already! Until later

Well Sweetie thanks for rewarding me for coming to your blog, always good to get a handle on your life, enjoy your take on things too. Sounds like you have a bit of a routine even if it is handing out TP!! Classes sound interesting, looking forward to hearing your new insights into things. Love you lots, should get back to the kardexes I'm updating.
She's alive.....wow, puts hand on forehead and catches her breathe.. just kidding I know you have been busy and now I can see what is occupying your time. STUDY STUDY AND MORE STUDY!!! But if you are enjoying it that is what counts. Don't you know the saying... never judge a book by it's cover.. That was my two cents worth.
So I love you, glad things are going well.. miss you... hope you have a great day... Talk to you soon.. I look forward to another blog in the near future!!
Love you
I must disagree with the the hypothesis concerning textbooks... for me if one of the "required" books for a class is too small I don't read or pay much attention to it due to the fact that if it were important it would be more massive.
