Day -2

There it is, ladies and gentlemen! A count of zero!
Today and one more day of "rest" before the transplant on Thursday.






In other news... The Legend of Zelda is 25 years old today! Happy birthday to an old friend and classic! I don't know how many hours I spent on this game, but I'm sure I could be a rocket scientist if it weren't for Nintendo... and as always, nothing beats the original!






So, now that I am getting a second birthday and the clock is essentially being reset, I am taking inventory of my life's pursuits. In doing so, I have made a small list of things I have accomplished, things I should have accomplished, and things I want to accomplish in the future. This simple assessment of my life will redirect my studies, and bring to light what my capabilities really are. However, one blaring item at the top of my "should've" list is going to get my attention for the next few months while I recuperate. Besides, of course, keeping my Latin and Greek current and useful for biblical studies, which is where I spend most of my time, I am growing more and more aware of my lack of proficiency in the language my whole family speaks but me. I should learn Spanish. I don't think it'll be that hard because I have such a good grounding in it, growing up where I did, but the talking part has never taken hold in my mind. I will probably watch Spanish TV more and spend some time getting to know the grammar but I would appreciate any suggestions or helps to make my acquisition of Spanish go faster or easier.
