I have great, personal news: I will be at Greece this summer to study Classical Greek! I will attend the Paideia Institute's "Living Greek in Greece" program this summer. This is only because of my generous patrons at my university. There I will be conjugating verbs and declining nouns, and adjectives, on the quick, whilst speaking and/or listening. This is exciting for me on many levels. On one, I will improve my Greek; on another, I will meet other students/potential scholars and scholars. On another level, I will represent my university, the lowly country-city Fresno's university: Fresno State, which has produced impressive scholars, myself excluded. On another level (I mentioned that this was many leveled), this will be my first time in Europe! I will be at the coast of the Peloponnese, at a seaside village, and will visit Delphi, tragically un-oracled, and Mt. Parnassus. I suppose that Eutychus would be a fitting name for me, as I once fell asleep (being that I left my studies for some time) but am now awake with good fortune!
