it is finished. never again will i have to take another greek class in my entire life (unless by my choosing). it is finished.
approximately 5 minutes ago i took the second half of my final exam (the first oral, the second a matching test) and aced it. this is very significant in the course of my seminary education as the completion of this class not only marks the completion of the semester and the completion of my greek education, but it also marks the completion of my final class in this round of seminary. all that is left to complete is my extended research paper (mini-thesis) which will be done in november and then i’ll walk in may (’08)—i’m actually scheduled to graduate with honors barring a horrible job on my research paper! (this is a stark contrast from my college days—i still can’t believe they let me into seminary.)
although my seminary education isn’t over yet, i already miss the classes and i already miss the challenging and thought provoking work in which i have been engaged in for almost 2 years now. seminary was everything that i had hoped it would be—and more. i look forward to another round in the future but first i’ll have to work on paying off this one…
so, here’s to greek and my love/hate relationship with it. may you be as happy as i am never to have to engage in learning you ever again!

Congratulations. I am proud of you! I know it has been a struggle, but you have demonstrated for yourself that when you really want something, wanting, alone, is not enough. It is working hard for what you want that allows you to receive the full measure of benefits available. Your mom and I are happy for you and the direction you’ve been heading since you graduated from college. Recent events have all been necessary to help you develop the will to survive. That will to survive is necessary for you in the next chapter of your life. We love you and Tracy!
Which seminary? I think you told me before. Congrats on your accomplishments. Someday soon I hope I can attend seminary too.
