Paperless bliss

Well it's done.  I turned in my last paper for this semester.  It was a 15 page exegesis paper of Hosea 11:1-11.  As much as I enjoyed reading about and engaging the text, I am glad to be done with it.  Writing a paper like that takes so much out of a person.  For weeks you will read and read and read; and then read some more.  For weeks you will think and write.  Then there is always the need to figure out how to translate the text.  And when you have a passage that is textually corrupt (like mine), that task is even harder.  Needless to say it was a good experience but I'm glad it's over.  I just wanted to share my happiness.  All I have left for the semester is translating Pss. 48, 50 and 84.  I also need to read more but that's never-ending.  Next semester's classes: Hebrew, Syriac, and German.
