I just had a midterm and it's only the end of August

That's just wrong. Once again, I had that troubling moment where you're sitting in class, have already gone over your answers, and know you're done way before everyone else is. By now I'm getting used to it though. Anna still beat me by a couple of minutes, as usual.

What’s funny is that we’re still at that stage in our Hebrew where we can only make pretty basic sentences, so even though we have to write six or seven-line short answers, they come out sounding like an elementary school paper.

Example: אני נוסעת למסעדה. אני שותה מיץ תפוזים. אני אוהבת לשתות מיץ

It looks so impressive, but I sound like a five-year old. “I go to the restaurant. I drink orange juice. I love to drink juice.” :)

My schedule for the semester will be roughly thus:

Sunday: sucks. Class from 10:30 am to 6:15 pm. I kid you not.
Monday: Hebrew - 8:30 am to 10:15, then Archaeology at 2:30 to 4:15.
Tuesday: Hebrew – 10:30 to 12:15, Foreign Policy from 4:30 to 6:15
Wednesday: Hebrew – 10:30 again, Archaeology at 12:30.
Thursday: Just History of Palestine at 10:30.

I almost swung a three-day weekend, but no. I could never get that to work at SD either.
