...missed it, that means I'll be posting every day until the end of November... if I can. Mwahahahhar.) We'll see how it goes. Prepare for a lot of random links. And now, in honor of my (mostly) Hebrew-speaking friend.... Hebrew corner! :D   היי כפית שלי! זה מוקדש לך. היום כתבתי על קפה.... ואתר שתורם מים לאנשים שצריכים.... ושהצתרפתי לפרוייקט שבו אני כותבת בבלוג כל יום לחודש שלם! החל ממוצ"ש. והחלטתי...

When I went to the Montgomery County Public Library in Gaithersburg looking for some books on Judaism and Hebrew, I wasn't shocked to find that there wasn't... let's say... a plethora of Hebrew language materials.  I was a little surprised that all I was able to find was  this nine CD audio course from Pimsleur .  But I thought to myself: "Hey, this could be great.  I can listen to it in...

Today, I acquired an absolute awesome and pretty "Biblia Hebraica", complete in faux-leather, gold title and absolutely heavy, for a box of chocolates. Which just shows that Chocolate is an accepted form of currency in Switzerland...

... running around campus to pick up stuff, gym, dinner, Sig Tau Delta meeting (which I was late to because I lingered over a second cup of coffee :-p), power-walked to Janet's, RCIA, work, Greek and Hebrew homework. A seventeen-hour day :-p RCIA was good though, as un-excited as I was beforehand. Joe and Janet were both very helpful and supportive. Oh, and the Holy Spirit too :-p I wore my Holy Spirit...

can someone confirm something for me? i think they say "eternal love" ...but i'd like to double check thankyou (:

...some of the amazing films I've watched on the network.  However, right now I'm going to focus on my favorite series on the network: "From the Aleph-Bet." When I decided that I wanted to study Hebrew as part of my Jewish studies, I was intimidated.  I had never studied a foreign language that had a written language that was so entirely different from English.  And to complicate matter, Hebrew...

...rather than the source language being English, the source languages are EVERYTHING else! You know, like Hanzi Smatter, but not exclusively Chinese/hanzi. :: laugh :: See, for example, the craptacular Hebrew tattoo I came across below: This should read "God is my banner," יהוה נסי, but for starters the Hebrew is going the wrong direction, God has an extra ו in his name, and "my banner" is misspelled...

.... Anyway, I'm getting together with Janet, probably on Wednesday, to put together our class for RCIA on Thursday. Which I'm looking forward to. A full 1:45 sanctioned time to be a know-it-all :-p Hebrew was also good. We talked some about continuing next semester, and I really hope it works out that we can meet at least three times a week then, if not more often. I have too much love for Hebrew...

...around of stress, avoiding stress, avoiding doing work, and socialising. Whoops, forgot to put schoolwork in there. XD I've somehow contrived to take 16 credits with only (essentially) four classes. Hebrew is fun, if a bit easy; but, hey, that's why I'm taking it. Meteorology is silly, because the professor posted all of his powerpoints to the web along with notes on each chapter in the book, so no...

I really did; they're a shimmery purple. However, I was also working on Hebrew and Greek and whatnot and was just a busy busy biblical scholar bee Greek is really awesome, btw, we're working on the Didache so it prompts a lot of discussion (/lecture) on how churches work now, compared to then. I got asked - and was unable to answer :-p - whether Catholics are in communion with Episcopalians. I even...
