I'm posting as I watch another episode of Battlestar Galatica Classic. For a 70's show its really quite enjoyable. I really like how they launch their fighters out of launch tubes, giving them the ability to scramble very quickly as opposed to the Star Wars notion of launching out of hangers. Right now Baltar is organizing a prison break. He's quite a clever schemer.
This week hasn't been a bad first week, minus the excess homework for a first week of school. New Testament Greek is the main culprit-I've already spent about six hours translating forty verses from John and all of Second John. I must admit his Greek is (thankfully) very simple. Most of his verse construction is along the lines of one person said "..." and another replied "...". We are supposed to start Luke and do some Acts eventually. Yesterday we also talked about textual criticism and the manuscripts from which the New Testament was compiled. It turns out that there are four main groups of manuscripts that are used. The Western, Byzantine, Alexandrian, and the Neutral. Its all rather interesting; I hope I can survive the workload.
This evening we went to the women's swim meet against the 'sips. They lost by twenty points or so, but still swam quite well. Two of the swimmers go to RUF so its always fun to support them. One of them swam a solid leg in the freestyle relay. She held us neck and neck with a very fast swimmer. A bunch of my buddies and some other friends all went so we had a good size group. Tomorrow we will be going to a swim meet, tennis meet, and indoor track meet. It should be quite a good day, and after all the events we might go play a bit of volleyball.
Well here's looking to a fun weekend.

Sorry about the meet, but glad you enjoyed it. Interesting that you yell at meet, but the person in the water can rarely hear the crowd as their ears are usually under water.
