Hanukkah is over (well very very nearly) and so is the semester. Emily and I have done our presentation for Psalms (I was actually really pleased with how it went). We have also had our last class on reflecting on our experiences with/at Jewish care. So the rest of the semester one week is really a bit of a drawing in especially as we have some cancelled classes next week.
There is of course the assessments for the first semester which remain: Three essays (One for liturgy, one for History and one for psalms [based off our presentations] and one of the mini-essays for Rabbinic literature. I do of course have to prepare my limmud sessions, which start in a week. And there is one last visit with Jewish care to do but apart from that we're done.
I enjoyed Hanukhah although I only got to send one day of it back home. Friday I went to FPS and their celebrations were really nice and on Saturday I went over to WCS I always enjoy the service there and the community is lovely and welcoming.
I did have a moment of intense nostalgia when in a newsagents I saw Snapple ice tea and more magazine about swimming than I thought there could possibly be these made me think of Tina and Laura and of course HUC and Jlem.
The trip over to WCS was interesting among other unusual things that happen was there there were parrots in the park (the local park to Emily and I). Shortly I am off we some of my fellow LBC students to see the Hobbit which should be great fun.
