Sometimes I need to pinch myself to ensure I'm not dreaming about living here. 🛶🌊🏖️☀️

That sounds great. I am having to fund all my student fees as I work full time. 😞 How did you get on with Greek?

Nice, that takes the pressure right off you which is great. We have four assessments then an exam. 😵‍💫 I've submitted two assessments so far. I drove myself insane listening to an alphabet song on repeat, but it really did help to make it stick! How are you finding the vowels?

That's really good. Our lecturer has done something similar in providing a PDF for us to work from. I got a couple of extra Hebrew Grammars just to help me learn. We are six weeks in with two 1 hour lectures a week. Do you have any exams or is it continual assessments?

Have pity on me, I just turned 44 and have started learning it! How many weeks into the term are you? Are you using Van Pelt grammar?

That's exactly what I'm doing now. It really is rewarding, but only in the moments when you're not losing your mind. 😁

Haha thanks Peter! I passed Greek I previously, so now I'm onto Greek II. It doesn't get any easier 😁

It is proving to be a challenging, yet rewarding semester.

Lots of balloons today, which means I must have reached 44. Grateful for each and every day, such an incredible blessing! 🙏🏻🎁🎂🎉

After serving schools IT for over 20 years, I have taken on a new challenge supporting the corporate side. Very sad to be leaving familiar friends and faces, but excited about the new challenges ahead. 💻🖥️⌨️🖱️
