Unexpected Bible Lesson :)

My day was quite exhausting today, even though I ended up having only four hours. :) My PE teacher had to go to the doctors. Well, I did some French during my two hours that I had free. We got two pages of vocabulary, since tomorrow there is no French. I still don't understand why it has to be that much, but I am getting faster at studying and I write my vocabs while eating, therefore it is not as much time that I need. I am really glad to have found this solution.
Anyway, when I got home around 2:10, because I still drove to school since I didn't know. I started practicing my violin for about an hour or even more!! and then I slept a little bit, but just half way, because I had to pay attention to the time. At 4 Simone had her piano lesson. I showed her the stuff for her brother as well, since he forgot how to do it, even though he understood what to do yesterday :)
Teaching was a lot of fun today. I don't know what made the difference. Maybe it is my sleep, since I was able to take a nap before teaching. I just don't know.
By the way, it got a habit that I start my homework around 9. There is just too much to do. Oh one funny thing happened today, which was kind of inconvenient. Shortly past six, I wanted to go to take a walk and study my French vocabs, but the doorbell rang and Daniel (our pastor) came. We had forgotten about the Bible study lesson today. I had asked him a while ago, but he didn't have his agenda withhim, therefore I didn't remember when it was. We were talking for just over 2 hours. So there goes my sleep :( I think we came to pretty interesting conclusions, which were clear before we started talking about it, but there were some aspect that I did not think about before. For example: Adam and Eve got send out of the garden, not only because it was then impossible for them to eat from the tree of life, but also, because they would have felt extremely uncomfortable in the presence of God. I can agree with that, since they both hid from God when he was walking through the garden. Another interesting conclusion was, that Eve, when she looked at the fruit, judged it with her sense organs, therefore she gave in the temptation. Before she was answering the snake with the word of God => no act yet! I thought I would share those two results with you, since they were kind of major in the discussion.
We also settled this thing about Noah being 500 years old when he begot Sem, Ham and Japhet. It is how we said! He started having his first son Sem, or whoever was the oldest when he was 500 and then they just continued. So this makes sense, and we said before this was the only way, it could work and this is how it is. Also, one more thing, usually when it says "500 years old" it should have been translated as 499 years, because it means literally son of 500 years, which means that he has completed 499 years and is in the 500th.
That is about everything interesting that has been going on today.
Sorry, but I just remembered one more thing. My dad finally fixed the internet connection which has been retarded for over a week now. I am glad this is finally back to normal...
