Yesterday I started tutoring a Junior High School girl in Ancient Greek.
It was our first "cIass" and I was unprepared. Anyway we did a few quizes.
Today I was really hyped up to prepare more quizes for her. This year they had just learnt the middle voice of Ancient Greek verbs so we would do a revision on that.
I had searched my verb index for "normal" verbs. I started creating the quiz in a big notebook I have.
I wrote all the tenses down, and ommited some of the persons so that she would fill them in after I would have her study the "prototype" verb, and after she would have inflected the verb for me, out loud.
I was half way writing down the second verb (there are 3 verbs I would write down, one for each category of verbs) when my sister called me that her parents decided to not continue the cIasses cause, as my sister told me, she would go to a φροντιστηριο (private schools which specialise in some lessons and prepare students for school; yeah our educational system is full of holes) next year.

But anyway there was some good out of this since it was an opportunity for me to start studying again on my Ancient Greeks since I never "went along" with it very well. Mostly about grammar and diction; learning the rules and such. But I was always good in translation for some reason even though I rarely separate the periods or try to analyuse the text diction-wise before translating.
Um, yeah, thats all.
