Behaving positively
I owned my Greek exam today! I only lost a few points, and sadly missed out on four extra credit point. That was sad. :-( However, of the things that actually matter, I did really well! I'm so pumped. I worked my butt off all weekend to get to where I am. I'm expecting a B and hoping for an A. :-) A man can dream. I missed one vocab word ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I've been sitting in Lane for the past couple of hours, eating MacDonalds, which is never good, and reading Mark in the original Greek...which is awesome! I haven't been doing that great with it, but it's been such an encouraging experience to know that I can read it! Even if it's not that great, I know basically what's going on. It's really ( Read more... ) -
details to follow
I asked permission to do what? There's a what available? wow -
musings in bioethics
Thought I'd share both the translation and classical versions of the Hippocratic Oath.
Original, translated from Greek.I swear by Apollo, Æsculapius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgement, the following Oath ( Read more... ) -
That's a new development
So last night, after getting my laundry from Aimee's, I come back and gather my things in order to go upstairs. But wait! What's that? What's that strange resistance in my back all of a sudden? I don't know, but boy is that sore. This does not look good for Homestarrunner, who is trying to run a half marathon in less than a month! -
So that's cool.
So yesterday was the visit to the mosque in Malden. That was really cool, except that the church basement where they meet was leaking and I stepped into a huge puddle of water. That was not cool. The sermon was good, though, and the people were incredibly welcoming. It was so convicting. As soon as the service was over, we were embraced, ( Read more... ) -
Cold and wet....feet
So apparently, as far as BJ's dad can figure without having looked at my car, he seems to think my repairs won't be that expensive, so that's a real blessing and no doubt about it. I'm getting it towed to a shop in Salem today...in like an hour or so, depending on when I get a chance to call them. THey'll let me know how much, et al. and I'll let ( Read more... ) -
Dydd Dewi Sant
Happy Saint David's Day! Everyone's Welsh today, so bust out the Leeks and Daffodils and try to wrap your tongue around a Welsh folk tune or hymn!
"Remember the little things..." St. David. -
Where were you when the pillar of fire went out?
So yesterday I was driving around with Emily and there was this strange high-pitched whine when I'd accellerate. Didn't know what it was, but my car is noisy anyway, so I didn't think too much about it. On the way home, everything is funny. Gears are hard, that sort of thing. I get off the rotary onto Washington street and literally my car ( Read more... )
