For the past two weeks, I have been diving deep into studies. I’ve watched about 20 hours worth of lecture, read and re-read notes and text books, and memorized all the significant bullet points from those study materials. My hybrid class makes exams especially hard. The material is drawn from online lectures, but the exams are put together by a different professor. I had no idea was going to be on the exam. I basically had to know everything. I doubt any of you really want to know the Biblical chronology of the minor prophets or ten *vital* character traits of Nehemiah. I didn’t really want to have to memorize all that either.
My other classes were better. For Medieval Rabbinic Commentaries I had to translate Rashi’s interpretation of Psalm 110:1. For Historical Hebrew Grammar, I had to trace the development of the Hebrew language. Right now, I’m just going through the post-exam hangover. I realize I can dedicate my mind to learning something different, but I’m still working up the motivation to do so. Anyways, I’m glad finals week is over. Now, if you excuse me, I’m going to recuperate from lost sle…………….
