Today (Tuesday) is going to be insanely hectic. I have 2 back-to-back finals, as well as a paper to hand in. I have finished studying for one of the finals, and just need to write up my index card. But I'll do that after I do the insane amount of studying that awaits.
To be fair, it's just an insane amount of studying because I'm actually blessed with a pretty good memory for facts and usually just need to brush up. Alas, I lost my JTS notebook 4-6 weeks ago. Even after I cleaned my room/packed most of my things into storage, I never found it. As of right now, I find myself pouring over photocopies of Talmud (Jewish law) pages, marking the sections and highlighting technical terms, writing in notes here and there. The little notes help jog my memory about the content. Hopefully this will help. Then, it is off to writing my Hebrew lit paper! I have 4 pages so far.
THIS WEEK:
Tuesday, 5/11: Hebrew lit paper, Talmud final, Bible final
Wednesday, 5/12: MusicHum final, last day of work, going to the opera!!
Thursday, 5/13: Bible extra credit paper, Columbia Talmud take-home final
Other than that, I just need to pack up what is left of my things (mostly just clothes), throw away the garbage, donate the unwanted clothes (mostly jeans/sweats), and wash all of my clothes and bedding. Then comes the process where I pack a suitcase with clothes and an Ikea bag with dishes and bedding and put this in storage, only to remove it in two week's time, when I return to NYC for my internship.
The end of the semester always feels rushed and abrupt. This time feels much better, since I'm not really leaving. Also, the pleasantly large number of friends remaining in the city for the summer is reassuring. This is already looking to be the most social summer I have ever had...not that this is saying much...
And now, back to my Talmud!
