We're Halfway Through Classes

And I haven’t even posted which classes I’m taking!

Hebrew - Level Bet - Accelerated
I’ll be finishing the whole level in one semester, which means I’ll have completed 2 years in 5 months. Suuuuucks…

Art in Israel
It would be hard to find a class like this anywhere else. Had my midterm on Sunday.

Chassidism: From Mystic Fraternity to Reactionary Movement
Great idea, not very well structured. The professor, a Chasid with a Ph.D (quite rare) has a hard time facilitating in-class debate, which there’s a lot of…

History of Modern Jewish Thought
Focuses primarily on 18th and 19th Century German thought; we just finished Moses Mendelssohn. I’m really enjoying this class.

Internship Course - Workplace Skills or some shit
This class is not good. The professor has been condescending and quite pessimistic about any career not in business or academia.

It’s way too big of a course load (like 21 units) and I’m regretting it. I wish I could drop the Chasidism class but it’s just not an option anymore. Anyway, back to studying for my Hebrew midterm on Thursday!
