On our second of two walks yesterday, we did not take Henry. Joey and I went on a blissful walk, just the two of us, after he finished studying for his beastly Interestamental History (aka NT111) final. We were discussing next semester’s schedule: he’s taking an evening class and we only have one car. We’ve been trying to figure out how the whole transportation thing’s gonna work out.

“Maybe I’ll just work late one night and sit in the class with you the other,” I suggested.

“Really?” Joey perked up. “I’d love it if you did that.”

We walked a few steps more, in pondering silence before Joey said, “Or maybe you could just audit the whole class with me?”

“Woah.” I said. I am done with higher education…aren’t I?

“Come on, you’d be great at it…” he goaded.

It’s Hebrew, kids, he’s taking Hebrew on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:15-6:30.

“You already took Greek in undergrad…” he pressed, “What’s a little bit of Hebrew.”

“Yes, but I don’t know Greek, I stink at it anymore. I’d rather take Greek again so I could kick its bum; I think I’d enjoy it a whole lot more this time around.” I’ve actually been considering auditing a Greek class or three at DTS just so I could be awesome again instead of just my cursory knowledge, which is really only just enough to be dangerous.

We walked in silence a few moments more.

“Why don’t you look into it on Monday,” I suggested.

Joey brightened up like someone had just given him the winning lottery ticket. “Really?!”

“I’m not saying I’ll do it…just get the information.”

“OK!” He had a spring in his step now.

“But if I do it, I’m getting my own box of Hebrew flashcards. I am not sharing with you.” I stipulated.

“Fine, fine. You can have your own box.”

“Ooh, if I audited a class I would get a girl parking sticker, so we could always park in the close lots and not have to walk so far…” I said.

“That’s motivation right there,” Joey replied.

So, haven’t decided yet. I have a couple more months, but I think I’ll make my mind up in the next few weeks so I can start doing background research before I dive into a completely foreign language (this one reads left to right) and want to poke my eye out.
