Learning

I don't think I learned a lot during my time at Princeton, but instead, how and why to learn. Now that I don't have that burden "Thou shalt learn!", it makes me realize how awesome it is to learn.

Since I have eternity to learn this stuff, I'll try to take it one at a time.

Languages: Classical & Mishnaic Hebrew, Aramaic, Attic Greek, Syriac, Latin, German, French, Arabic, Korean (I wonder; what if God had chosen to use Korean or Chinese to transmit the gospels or the Old Testament? How would our understanding of the gospel have differed?)

Philosophies: Existentialist, Phenomenologist, Postmodern (Really curious what type of philosophy might emerge after Postmodern; You can't say post-postmodern!)

Theologies: Narrative, Rhetorical

Topics: Late-antique Christian-Jewish formation and interaction in texts and theology, Old Testament interpretation, the Historical Jesus

Random: Chinese poetry, (took a chinese lit. class once; loved Meng Jiao, such a sad honest man, and Li Bai, his drinking moonlight poem), literary theory/criticism, various myths and folklore.

Instruments: Banjo, harmonica

Sometime in between, I hope to get married too.

Also, I think it would be totally awesome just touring Europe or something with a guitar, trying to get by with the least amount of money. Also, I want to learn how to be a farmer like my grandfather.
