I was thinking about where to post this
entry. Here or in my other blog. However, I think that the other
blog is no more or less defunct so I shall post it to this particular
one. Thinking about it I feel that the semester ended with something
of whimper rather than with a roar. And I still have assessments to
do for it. But my seventh semester at rabbinical school is over.
Currently I am in Stoke although only for a single evening.
This morning I went for an NF check up
in Manchester, good news I am in excellent health. Better in fact
than when I was last seen. Way back when in 2007. But what struck me
was how much the hospital has alter. It is almost unrecognisable from
what it was last time I was. Very bright very modern.
What I found more alarming was how much
the whole area around the university has changed. I wont say that I
hardly recognised it, because it was still very clearly my old
stomping ground. But considering how much time I spent there over
such a long period of time it was really really different and it felt
really disconcerting. To be somewhere which was simaltainously
utterly familiar and yet very changed. And in the end I no longer
felt at home there. Which given how long its been since I went back
is hardly surprising.
After this very short visit home I go
back to KLS tomorrow to lead a Friday night service then I have one
last day to get ready for limmud.
Then on Sunday though Thursday there is
Limmud and then I come home for a bit. Probably about a week. Then
some concentrated work on assessments and my eighth semester starts.
