In Which I Realize That the End of the Semester Aproaches

3 weeks before the end of the semester, I finally know what all my finals will be (and it seems that one of them will be done over the summer, by means of taking an incomplete for a bit, as the teacher would rather give me the test when everyone else will be taking it- aka well after I leave Israel, and I could use the time to prepare, so I'm rather happy for the chance). I've been working on one of them (but it's a halakha paper, and while I think I have nearly all my sources and just need to write about them, besides getting help finding a couple of things that I just can't actually find/can't understand what the acronym is short for, I'm sort of paranoid that I'll miss one or more...), prepping for another (it's a memorization thing) and thinking about a few more of them, but the bulk of the work is yet to come. Not the end of the world- once I get started, things tend to go fairly quickly, but I'm in that stage of alternately working and being anxious, right now.

In the meantime, I'm teaching at 2:30am on Shavuot, on some of the material from one of my finals. So once I do that, writing it up shouldn't be such a big deal. Still, it's one more thing to think about and work on. On the other hand, it's a rather exciting opportunity and chance to practice teaching something like this. Wish me luck!
