After morning chapel I hurried home for a bowl of Cheerios. Even though I had much to do, it felt good to be out of a normal weekday schedule and dealing with time on my own terms. Moses arrived and we headed out for haircuts and then some grocery shopping. Moses Hataw is a visiting student from Burma, studying here for two years before returning home to teach. He spent the afternoon teaching me to cook the way they do in his country and then we invited Sarah and Nathaniel from next door to enjoy the feast. I've never knew rice could taste so good. For the remainder of the afternoon we worked through our Greek homework but didn't finish (does one ever actually finish Greek homework?) We were too exhausted to focus another minute on parsing nouns (don't ask) and declining verbs...so we chose reclining instead. By the time the dinner hour beckoned I was too tired to eat but did it anyway. Sarah knocked on the door to say there was pizza next door. Tomorrow Moses is due to return sometime after dinner so we can finish our homework and study for a Greek quiz on Monday. It seems as if Greek takes up a bit of time... as much as I talk about it...and it does. I'm enjoying the class and learning the language of the Bible, but it does take some effort.
