Alpha to Epsilon

I was going to put in the Greek letters in the subject line, but the Teknia Greek only seems to work on the Mirosoft Word document. oh well. I have gotten through the first "chunk" of the Greek Alphabet. in other words, I know the first 5 letters. I can write them, regognize them, I know their names, and I have a good idea as to how they are pronounced. As I was doing my Greek Study time today, I felt so proud of myself when I started working on my Alpha to Epsilon practice page(where I write all 5 of them). i felt proud because I have taught this to myself. with help from a dvd lecture and my friend Brent, but I can say that I have and am teaching this to myself. I feel really and truly proud of that. It might be vain or selfish, but I am proud of myself for doing this on my own, and for someone like me, who has to work at keeping my self-confidence up, it feels good to be proud of myself. and it makes me have even more confidence in myself and also for this Greek Journey, it continues my motivation. I know that learning the alphabet is really easy, and when I get to the hard stuff later, it will be more difficult, but I think that if I start off with confidence and pride and motivation, and keep them up along the way, even for tiny little things, it will go a long way when the hard parts come later. I know it's a little silly to be proud of myself for having learned the first 5 letters of the Greek alphabet, especially when it has taken me a few months to do so because I really space out my learning, and take my time, but I am proud of myself. and yeah, some of my friends are taking Greek in grad school right now, while Millie is learning the alphabet, but you know what? that's okay. I smile when I think of that actually. and im sure they smile when they see me excited that I know can write the first 5 letters, while they learned that the first day of their first Greek class. and that's okay. what also feels good is knowing that I am doing this for me, just me, 100% for me. not to impress some guy or for a degree or for my future job or whatever. just...because. and maybe My Father has a plan for this, and He will use this in some crazy way someday, but that's not why I'm doing it. I'm doing it...for no real reason at all. and that is one of the best feelings I've ever had in my life.

  above are pictures of me, taken by myself with my laptop webcam, studying Greek. or practicing my Greek letters to be more exact. don't i look like a college professor?or at least someone who wants to  be one?lol.
