I was translating from Codex Beza today. In class we were translating a section from Mark but not from the normal UBS or NA text. It was so cool to be reading from a text, even though it was a western text, that wasn't cut and pasted together from differernt readings.

I had the last meeting of my last summer course. A greek class worth one hour. We met weekly and translated. Parts of it were very fun but I got very tired of it in the end. My translations actually got sloppier as the summer went along. I think part of it was that I was in summer mode and didn't care to do much work.

Here is a quote to think of:

Generally bu the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.
