I love school; and if I could, I'd be a full-time student. But I wouldn't take a full curriculum; that's too much like work! Keep plugging away, and don't become too discouraged. You can always rest after the year ends!

As of late, I've decided to learn Koine. Being someone of modest means, I've downloaded a couple of texts to my Kindle, and have started watching a course on iTunes. Do you have any recommendations for a beginning student?
Yes, I think that the full time curriculum is where I messed up. I did a B.A, an M.A., another B.A and now another M.A. while working on my PhD thesis at the same time - with no breaks in between. I should have just audited a few courses instead of taking on the responsibility of completing another degree. Which isn't to say that I don't enjoy it - I do, enormously. I just need a break, even a few months would suffice. What I would really like is to have more free time - I'd really love to delve into Sanskrit, Old English and Mythology. I've got a stack of books related to these subjects giving me the stink eye, dust covered, from across the room! My poor, neglected books!

Do you have any prior knowledge of Greek, or are you coming at Koine as a beginner? Greek is a tough language, kudos for trying your hand at it! This site has free public domain books for learners of Greek and Latin.

You're getting your Xenas crossed! She's the polyglot. BGD is the one who works at Fermilab!

In real life, Lucy Lawless (who played Xena on TV) can fly.

Thanks for that link. I'm not only a complete novice, but someone to whom foreign languages do not come easily.

No, no, no, my research is all based on avatars.
