Today
has been a good day so far. My 8AM section went well. It was the last section of the year for this class. I teach my other section for the last time tomorrow. After Greek I hung out with Travis. As dorky as this sounds, we had a pleasant time talking about Hume, Kant and the pros and cons of ways of looking at the cross. He actually agreed with me about the need to view the cross both as a relational restoration
and as a penal substitution. I went back to the office for a bit, talked with the other TAs about some office developments, such as changes in staff and the next semester’s TA assignments.

At about 11:30, I headed out for the day. When I got home, I played one round of Halo 3. I kicked but. Was the team leader in kills on the winning team (check out the stats). I never do that well. Just ask Jake, Grant, Q, Hank, or Andy - they will tell you. After that round, I picked up the house, did the dishes, and made myself lunch.

Then I responded to a few emails (although not all) that I was needing to catch up on and made a spectacular purchase on Amazon.com.

• 2 copies of Magna Messiah (I showed it to my father in law and he had me grab him 2 copies)
• The Magna Bible - if the Gospels were that good, I can’t wait to see the old testament (link has mature language)!
• The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide: Five Complete Novels and One Story
  - This is a story that I am ashamed to say that I have never read. Quite a few friends have read it and every time I meet someone that has, it makes me even more ashamed. I might use this to replace comic books for a month or so. I almost grabbed the cheap, cheap paperback version of the first book, but adding three books and binding it in leather for only 13 bones is well worth it for me.

All solid purchases, I think. You know what, for the first time in along time, I spent my allowance on books instead of video games. I guess, I did buy come comic trades last month, but this time I bought an actual book with only words.

I still have a couple of things to do:

• Do my Greek translations.
• Memorize the different ways the perfect and pluperfect passive/middles can be conjugated in Greek
• Get to the gym for the first time in a long while
• Finish grading (7 papers) and enter in grades

The best part of the day is there is no big projects hanging over my head!

Oh and this weekend should be fun as well. Meredith and I have a clothes-folding-date while watching the “Razor” the 2 hour, made for TV Battlestar Galactica movie tomorrow. Saturday we are going to the Nutcracker. Should make for a fun weekend.
