Free Time: Waving Goodbye

I thought I might have some free time.

Today Kim and I went to the Covenant book store and purchased our texts for this semester.

300+ $'s later and two sacks of books, we departed, still short about 4-5 books, but having found the majority of our needs.

Many are 200-300 page Christian texts one would likely enjoy reading of an evening. Several are large hardback textbooks--intimidating things that speak of things opposite to the inspiring leasure of the first group.

The third was related to language studies. I bought my first Greek New testament--which I can't read.
My first lexicon--which I can't yet use.
And my first mini-grammar. I call it mini because it is not 300-500 pages long being more a feild guide than a full fledge exploration of the language.

Did you remmeber that basic western speech has 8 parts?

I didn't. Here they are:


Nomen (Noun)
Pronomen (Pronoun)
Verbum (Verb)
Adverbium (Adverb)
Participium (Participle)
Praepositio (Preposition)
Conjunctio (Conjuction)
Interjectio (Interjection)



Feeling out of my depth I had cracked my "Still Greek to Me" reader and learned that horrifying fact: My grammar is rusty as an iron spike at the bottom of Chesapeake bay.

I think I know what I'll be doing for my 'free time' in the next few months: Greek and Language studies.
