Greek Club 9/28

At Greek club on thursday, we continued to practice pronouncing words using the Ancient Greek alphabet. Because i was in the club last year, this was review. But it was also beneficial because I proved to myself that i still remembered the Greek we learned last year. This year i hope to move faster and to be more ambitious in my efforts to learn Ancient Greek

Hiking and backpacking club 9/12/2009

On September 12, we hiked a 10 mile hike on the outer Cape taking us from Necomb Hollow to Highland Light. This hike proved to be very difficult but also a great learning experience for us as we weren't being lead by someone who had done the hike before. We had to use our compasses and maps to guide the group through the trek. We did get lost a few times and although by the end of the hike we were all dead tired and slightly irritated with each other, we all came out sharing a once in a lifetime experience. Although during the hike i wasn't completely having a great time, i was glad i went because i proved to myself i could complete an arduous 10 mile hike. Furthermore, not only did i get to enjoy the wonderful views of the outer-cape beaches, i also was able to mark a bit of progress towards my long term goal of fitness. Unfortunately i will be missing the next hike on the weekend of the 25th to the 27th, i do plan on exercising and preparing for hikes in the future.
