They were the most stressed, but also put us young pups to shame!<BR/><BR/>Good Luck as you begin this crazy journey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5221130573871037403.post-33177035899393496182008-07-12T13:30:00.000-04:002008-07-12T13:30:00.000-04:00David, that's good to know that the flash cards ar...David, that's good to know that the flash cards are useful even after the course is finished.

Yes, you will have a lot to do and a lot to learn in that time. But, everyone survives. <BR/>Some advice, buy index cards. You will need flash cards to learn vocabulary. Learn the Greek letters in lower case as soon as possible. Don't worry about trying to pronounce anything; it's extra if you can.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Carlson is a great instructor, a little bit off, but in a good way. He is a lot of fun.<BR/>During Summer Greek, you will have an exam each Friday. You will have homework from the AM session that needs to be done for the PM session after lunch. But it is do-able.<BR/><BR/>Heck, I survived. I had to resort to primal screams a few times, but everybody copes their own way. Your tutors really know their stuff, and your social coordinator is a joy.<BR/><BR/>It's a rite of passage, and it's not _that_ bad.BRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705165879814964510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5221130573871037403.post-1300628000485299452008-07-10T15:16:00.000-04:002008-07-10T15:16:00.000-04:00That's what I've heard.
