Greek Exam: Passed!

It’s that time of the quarter: the last two weeks before finals. On top of that, my wife was away for ten days and so that has made my scheduling all whacked out. That’s why I have been away from my blog for nearly two weeks.

I have good news, though. Yesterday, I received word on my Greek waiver exam results. I passed! I put it off for quite some time because I get nervous about tests, especially when there are high stakes. If I didn’t pass the Greek waiver exam at Fuller, I would have had to take three quarters of Beginner Greek. Not only would that be a blow to the ego and taking the class would be an incredibly boring experience (a third time through Mounce… woohoo), but it also would hinder me from taking three more advanced classes in NT and Greek. Since it’s been awhile (5 years!), I was a little rusty and the grader recommended (but didn’t require) that I take Greek Reading. I may be taking that next quarter. I’m still smoothing out the schedule, though. We’ll see how it goes.

    Thanks, Matt. I’m not sure “geniusness” would be the right word :) Is there a waiver exam at Duke?
