The paper is in, and registration for next semester is complete. Now, we wait and see.

In other news, my head has turned to languages again. I have long been a lover of language and have studied several. I am fluent in English, ASL and French and know a smattering of Spanish and German. I'm sure that if I worked at it again, I'd be close to fluent in both too.

But why stop there? I am interested in so many languages, so just to give you an idea of how I would like to imitate Blessed JPII (some say 'the Great'), who knew no fewer than 11 languages fluently.

I would love to know more:
Maori
Japanese
Hebrew
Latin
Greek (koine)
Italian
Vietnamese
Squamish (first nations language)
Maritime Sign Language (MSL)
French Candadian Sign Language (LSQ)

I know a few words in the majority of these, but certainly not enough to consider it even a smattering, let alone fluent. So, I'm listening to songs in Maori and practicing some Japanese at my Karate class. Maybe I'll pull out that German language DVD that I never did quite get to using...
