So, this is the first post from New Haven (well, technically I'm sitting in a cool town named Milford at a Bucks with a fire-place!). I'm in the new apartment - part of a small area called East Rock, which is affectionately named the grad student ghetto. Life is good, scary but good! I guess that's what you hope for when moving half way across the country. I miss good friends and familiar places, and I really miss a certain someone who decorated my everyday with her presence!
I'm particularly excited to have Adela Collins as my advisor! I want to work with a female, particularly one as accomplished in NT studies as she is. On a side note, there can not possibly be a female scholar both as sweet and intellectually fierce as Adela. She's challenged me to learn un-pointed Hebrew, Attic Greek, German, and Latin in three years. We'll see how that goes. In terms of this semester, my schedule will include:
1) Hellenistic Judaism with John Collins
2) Matthew with Adela
3) Elementary Hebrew
4) Either a doctoral seminar on the Greco-Roman World or Greek prose.
PS. New Yorkers drive like bats shot out of hell.

Welcome to YANKEE LAND, boy. Hope you get a good lashing or two simply for you're being from the the land of Dixie. Oh, and I suggest you respond, "Thank you, may I please have another?"
May the spirit of the scott be with you always.
non fui non sum non curo.
