Thoughts anterior to Hellenic language training

I still have an hour before my Wednesday/Friday Readings in Biblical Greek course begins this morning. 8am courses are just the worse. No philosophical explication necessary. Next semester, I have no courses beginning before 9:30am and only 3 courses during the traditional semester (thanks to a J-term course in Romans with the popular NT scholar, Michael Raymond Brown). Thank Gaia and Sophia!
Other than that, I'll be taking Matthew with the magnificent and world-famous Luke Timothy Johnson, 1st and 2nd Thessalonians Greek Exegesis with Steven Kraftchick (who also happens to be the MTS program director), and Womanist Theology and Narrative Identity with the Ricoeurian and poststructuralist scholar, Andrea White. If you know me . . . or have ever spoken to me for that matter . . . then you must know how these classes are absolutely perfect for me. I could not be more enthused.
I don't suppose I have much more to say. My life has been so voraciously consumed by the insatiable beast of academe for the past couple months that I've had little time to do or meditate on anything extraneous to it. Tomorrow I'm flying home to be in a good friend's wedding. Perhaps events at the bachelor party will resuscitate my floundering social life. [laughs to himself because he is in a public place]
