Of Greek and Fashion

Well, I'm sitting here in the library with some time to kill before my Greek class starts.  So far things have gone well this semester.  I'm trying to handle the suddenly overflowing classroom: enrollment is up 50% this semester, from 2 students to 3.  What can I say?  Word got around about how awesome our class was, what a monster teacher I am, etc.  Today we will be covering deponent, 2nd aorist, and liquid verbs: should be a doozy!  We may also cover some pronouns and work on translating sentences of such linguistic depth and theological import as "Jesus was a man, and Jesus is the lord of men."

My other highlight of the day was that a complete stranger in the library said he liked the color combination of my outfit.  It sounds suspiciously like a backhanded compliment but I'm still taking it, especially since, as I said, this was a complete stranger and I feel like backhanded compliments are more likely to come from so-called "friends."

Anywho, that's my blog o' the day.  No run today, although yesterday was a good workout and Wednesdays are our biggest run of the week beside Saturdays.  So I don't feel so bad about it.  I think you have to cut yourself a little slack from time to time.  No point running a marathon if it doesn't improve the way you treat yourself.
