The Second year has ended. The last week was our summer programming (Kol Bo) which this year was about Israel. Interesting but very intense especially after such a long year. I would get home after each day and just collapse.
Yesterday there was a really nice service at college. The three five-years (who will be ordained on Sunday) led it and were presented with tallitot by Charles and Deborah. So now all I have to do are two things related to my practical rabbinics course. (very little indeed really). And then its just a question of waiting on results. Not that I am all that concerned all I want is pass, which is an unusual thing for me to say but a pass is a pass is a pass. And as our teacher Laura keeps telling us thats all that really matters none will care what we got in our second year midrash class for example. Tomorrow I am reading Torah and preaching at WCS and then that really is it for the second year.
I am trying not to think about the 3rd year to much, i have to pass the second year for one thing and secondly its really just to far away to be concerned with.
last Weekend I went to Chaggigah the British Reform Biennial which was great. Really enjoyable but so tiring and when added to exams and assessments which came before and Kol Bo that came after I'm shattered and am not feeling well. Although I am pretty sure that its nothing more than being overly tired and warn out.
Apart from that I am feeling okay, upbeat even. Time, shortly to take a few deep breaths and relax.

Last Assessment update (I hope)
Hey again people on this blog. Time for another update and very close to my last one. I am still busy but I am really starting to feel that the end is kind of in sight. All I have left to do is one smallish bit of work for college, at least from the academic standpoint. I then have one service to lead, a Torah reading and sermon, write a report and finish my placement journal. That sounds like a lot, and it is, but its so much less than it was earlier that I am almost feeling happy. I am looking forward going to Chaggiah (British Reform Biennial). And then the second year is over. I am looking forward to next year it sounds like it is going to be amazing, but I would imagine even more work than this one was.
Apart from that not all that much has happened. Well, there isn't really time for it too happen. I work at college and I work in the community and then I hang out with Emily. Such is my life at the moment.

Yet more on assessments and the never-ending second year
I don't know who is still reading this blog but someone is. So its about time to make a new posting, not much has changed since my last update I am still working hard and there are still things outstanding although a lot less than there were. I should all be done and dusted by June 30th, although there is a hell of a lot of stuff between then and now, about 10ish things on the list to still do. But I'm hopefully that all of them will get down in the end or at lest all the ones that really matter will. The only other thing is the complete disappearances of the British summer, you really wouldn't know it was summer at all. Anyway I need to go and do some preliminary briefing type stuff for some upcoming events. I will try and post here before to long. Who knows I may be a third year by then.
