Actually blogging, I guess, about what’s been happening. June 12, 2008
Posted by Anya in : spontaneous degeneration , trackbackHello there. I would greet you more personally, but I’m not actually quite sure who’s reading this. If you leave a comment, though, I will know. I like comments. *grins*
I’m off to college tomorrow; staying for one night. This makes me happy.
Also, I’m taller than I thought. I’m short enough that this also makes me happy. Anyway, I’m apparently 5′4″. And a half. That leaves me tied with Anika. Not a bad place to be.
I’m still reading The Silmarillion, and I keep staying up somewhat later than I meant to. It’s Beren and Luthian… a rather captivating story… and… yes. Worth staying up late about. I’m also working on catching up in Systematic Theology. Hopefully in a week or two… And of course I’m still reading The Divine Conspiracy with notes going. (Griffin, be warned.)
Also keeping up with Greek. I think I like the subjunctive tense, but I think I like it for the same reason I did not like participles — namely, extreme flexibility in translating. I’m so weird. But it’s nice to look at an unedited passage (even if it better be from one of John’s epistles and not Hebrews — Hebrews has lots of unusual vocabulary, it seems) and know pretty exactly what it says.
And Mom found me the livemocha site. I recommend checking it out, so far it’s been good.
I probably ought to pack for tomorrow. It seems like it might be a prudent idea, and I am… prudent… right? Well, sort of. Hopefully I am when it matters. 
Anyway. Have a lovely day, or two, or whatever until I talk to you.

Now you’re making me what to read the Silmarillion again. It’s got a lot of good stories in it, especially Beren and Luthian. Túrin Turambar is a very sad and captivating tale too. Did you know they recently published another book specifically about that story?
Be prudent, enjoy visiting your college!
Haha. I should have mentioned that you’re an exception to the rule that I don’t know who reads my blog… your ISP shows up… *grins*
Would that be Children of Húrin? Or is there something else? I actually brought Children of Húrin home from the library but (for some odd reason) haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. My calendar is also CoH pictures… very lovely. And fortunately, I’m picking up from the Silmarillion what’s happening in those pictures.

I am sorry to say that I misled you. (Unintentionally, I assure you!) I am actually 5″5 and a half. So…I am still taller.
Not that I’m gloating or anything… 
I’ve seen things similar to the livemocha site before…and am going to join one next year to improve my French.
Have fun with subjunctives!
*goes to talk to you*
Have fun today! I’ll talk toy you when you get back, I s’pose.
The Silmarillion is awesome. Some parts of it I found a little difficult to slog through, but the rest of it makes up for that.
And I LOVE Beren and Luthien!!!
On the Greek however… you lost me. My brother would be the personage to talk to about that, haha.
