Half way point

Today I had my last classes of my fifth semester, which means that I am actually half way though.  I am not sure about wether to laugh or cry about this.  It feels as though it has taken so much just to reach this point in terms of energy/time/money/emotional resources just to reach this point.  And it also feels as though I have been doing it forever.

And I think that, wow, half what does the next half bring. But on the whole I'm pretty happy about it and am enjoying having reached this stage.

It is also exciting because I've grown and changed so much in these past two and half years.  And I think what will the next two and half years bring as I move more and more out of the classroom and into the real rabbinic world.

Today was the last day I visited the particular day care centre I have been working in it has been very interesting but the program still needs working on.  

Academic things are going very smoothly I am happy and although I still have three essays to write (Liturgy, Psalms and History) I am happy with what I am going to do for liturgy and psalms; which is to be based on the presentation I did on psalm 114. I am a little less happy with history albeit that I have selected my title.  The only other thing that is need is a presentation of prophets but that is not scheduled to take place until the 28th of January. 

Emily and I go to Limmud on Sunday, I am very excited about that. It has been too long since I have been able to go so it will be good to see my limmud friends.

I am rather tired. But am generally happy.
