I’m in the middle of my second day of classes as we speak. So far I’ve been two Greek twice, Microeconomics once, and a beginning Finance class.
I am in way over my head in Greek. You have no idea. My professor had us fill out cards on the first day, and one of the things she asked for was our previous foreign language experience. Today she said that she’s happy to see that most people have taken either Latin or German, because that will be very helpful. 
I haven’t taken either of those, and I haven’t taken any foreign language since my freshmen year of high school (Spanish). On top of all this, I found out that if you take Statistics, Microeconomics, and Macroeconomics that that will fulfill your language requirement. I took AP Stats in high school, took Macro last spring, and I’m taking Micro this semester. I’m going to see my adviser tomorrow to make sure that my Stats will be good enough (got a 3 on the AP test; hope that’s high enough). As much as I want to take Greek, I want to have a good GPA too. And we’re not learning New Testament Greek either; it’s classical Greek (a good 300 years newer). I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet. I still need to pray about it, but if it were entirely up to me I wouldn’t be in that class.
In about an hour I’ll be going to my Christian Apologist class. I have high hopes for this class. I’ll let you know how it goes when I get back today.
