Spring 2011 projects

  • {o} School: GPA >= 3.75

    • {*} Apply to UNC

    • {o} Get advice on what to major in and how to get involved in research work

    • Attendance: Two unexcused absences for each class and PY lab
  • {o} GRK: Learn Attic Greek well enough to read simple texts

    • Suggestion: NT Greek. It's koine, a simpler (and later) dialect that you already have a good deal of grammar for. Best book to start with is Mark. You might also consider (and I would be more than happy to read with you, as I have a Greek/Italian pony of it) Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, a similarly late text. --SteveKillen

*scratch*

This page has quite a bit of overlap with my Org file. That's more for school assignments, appointments, errands, etc. but some sort of integration would be nice. Also, several of "projects" are more like habits I wish to cultivate than discrete actions, and Org-Mode has a "habits" module that would be useful for tracking them
