A peek at the life, times and thoughts of John during his two-year stint in Knoxville.

This week is not quite as feverish as a week ago. We had our usual Greek Test Tuesday today. I can't say I'll particularly miss Greek. It's a great feeling that in two weeks it's over.

Oddly enough, I have benefited tremendously from the course. Despite the grumbling and moaning and worry that went into the three quarters of Greek it has certainly proven useful already and I'm sure it will again and again throughout my work.

Tomorrow we have a test for the book of Philippians. I'm not expecting it to be overly difficult, but there's enough material that it could throw me for a loop or two. Only time will tell.

I've begun to get fake eBay e-mails in my mailbox again. That's all right. I don't mind forwarding them to spoof@ebay.com and helping them keep up with the newest attempted tricks.
