It's time to study . . .

Update on School. . . .

Who would have thought that being out of school for seven years would make it tough to go back to studying? Well, I can attest to that! I am having to relearn time management skills that haven't needed to be used in quite awhile. So far it is a lot of reading and papers.

Today I had my first Greek test. I studied quite a bit by myself and with some friends, but I thought that I was going to fail (even with visiting the Greek tutor a few times). I was pleasantly surprised to learn that things sunk in a lot more than I expected. When I received the test, I knew almost everything. I made a few small errors (at least by my calculations), but will have the result hopefully on Friday morning.

I have two major papers due on Thursday, October 5th, so I have to get to work reading the material and writing. I have to use the Tulerian style to cite. Why is it that I have used so many different citing techniques? When will schools get there act together and teach the same thing from elementary through graduate school?

As for the job front, I have a few applications out there. I did work Monday night at an Auction Depot showing antiques during the auction. It was only four hours, but I made $60.00. It is available to me every Monday night, so I will probably do that until things settle down.

The weather has been quite nice. It is now in the 80's during the day and 60's at night, which is quite a bit better than the 102 that it was on the day that we moved into our apartment.

Thanks for the prayers! They are needed and appreciated. Talk to you all soon!

Is there something you want to tell me?

Sounds like your getting more back into the grove.
