I guess I should write a little bit about what I've been doing in the last week.  Let's see, I've been applying to join Wycliffe, writing a paper with a former professor for the Translation Journal, learning to use a sound board for the chapel services, staying on top of my internet activities, planning a newcomers guide for next year, thinking and planning various projects, and then there's something else.  What was it?  Oh yeah, I'm in grad school.  The way GIAL works is that students have two bimesters, which are divided into 4 modules (about a month each).  Each module has three classes, so its like cramming 9 hours into 4 weeks.  So far, its mostly been review for me, so it hasn't been to bad, but I think I'll get really busy once we get into new material.  Tomorrow night I think I'll go see Shakespeare's "Merry Wives of Windsor" in the Duncanville amphitheater.  Ok, I'm tired.  I got up at 6am to get some work done, and I'll still be up for a few more hours before turning in.  Remind me some time to write about voiceless velar fricatives with egressive pulmonic airstreams.  Or maybe I'll talk about swiss cheese.  You choose.
