Waiting...

My life is not on hold, but I'm waiting for a lot of things.

I interviewed with Borders (Back Bay) on Monday, and I thought it went really well. I was interviewed by the manager and the cafe manager. I was kind of expecting a call yesterday or today, offering me the job--but nothing. I've applied a million other places too, and nothing from them either. It is a little depressing, but it'll get better.

As always, I'm waiting to hear back about grad schools. I'm a bit neurotic about this, and I'm really tired of constantly thinking about it.

I did a presentation today for my Leviticus class. I wasn't as articulate as I could've been (though my handout was the best so far, I must say), but I'm hyper-critical of myself, so I'm really just going to be thankful that it is over. I'm a lot more comfortable one-on-one, and when a 1/3 of the class are studying to be rabbis, or are rabbis, it is a bit intimidating for me (the youngest non-Jew) to be telling them about Semitic philology.

I purposely endured this early for a reason--because I have to research my thesis and write it before May. I'm really looking forward to it. I can really pour all my energy into this now, and I'm excited about that at least.

Greek is going well - I need to work on pronouncing it. I understand basic conjugation of verbs, and the first declension of nouns, but I read it very slowly. Next Monday is my Hebrew test, which I will be devoting some time to studying this week. I'm not nervous at all, since I get to use a BDB.

Zach, as always, proves to be wonderful.
