I am several weeks into an online French for Reading course. This course is designed to help the learner pass the research languages competency exams given during the admissions process in most PHD programs. Yes, advanced degree programs require secondary language skills. It's annoying, but true. I intend to qualify in French, German and Latin. These are the three primary Theological research languages of historical note. I've already taken several years of Greek and one very long year of Hebrew. In short, I know more than I think I do, and that is still apparently not as much as it could be. Ach! my brains need a vacation from scholastics.
the next few days will be fun though. I'm headed north to my hometown to visit with family over Independence Day weekend. BBQ, swimming pool, family and fireworks. It oughta be fun.
