Dear World,

Hello. I'm back.
I have an 8-12 page paper on Jesus due on Tuesday- on reading I have not yet completed- but in the spirit of procrastination, I have decided to update you on the status of my life instead of doing my work.

I began this semester with two resolutions in mind: to procrastinate less and to have more fun. I am happy to report that I've been having a lot of fun. I am also only procrastinating for three out of my four classes. Next week I'll do better.

I have a pretty varied course load this semester. I jumped in to ancient Greek, secretly hoping that it would be an easy A because I have a background in modern Greek. Hah. I have it easier than everyone else because the words and some of the grammer is not completely alien, but it is nowhere near an easy A. On the plus side I'm actually enjoying it. Next semester I'll take Greek 102, the semester after that I'll take Plato and the semester after that I'll take New Testament Greek and be able to read the New Testament in its original form. Yay!

On a related note, I'm also taking a course called Jesus of Nazareth. We'll be studying portrayals of Jesus through the ages and ending with the modern search for the historical Jesus. It's going to be awesome. I'm writing my paper on the portayal of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. I hope I can write my second paper on one of the Bach pieces we're studying. I love Professor Hobbs!

My other two classes are Histology and Brain & Behavior. We're dissecting sheep brains for the B&B lab, so I'm a happy camper. This Thursday is our last dissection, though. Le sigh. Then we're experimenting on crayfish, which I'm a little freaked out about. It's all very humane, but still. Histology lab is not as exciting- two hours of looking at slides.

Hm- there's a group of people singing Kelly Clarkson across the hall. Which reminds me; I've seen a lot of guys on campus this semester. I saw, like, five last week and none of them were accompanied by women. It was insane. (The men across the hall are singing "A Whole New World!" In harmony!)

Well, I can procrastinate no longer. I'm going to run away to the living room where I can't hear the party going on across the hall and I can read Matthew in peace.
