Weird
There have been 2 fire drills/alarms/somethings today, the first day of school. The latter seems to be some sort of mechanical misfunction (reminiscent of some we had in high school- those were steam or something getting on the wires), as we didn't even have to go outside, but it made for an odd few moments. Well, I guess better over-sensitive sensors than ones that aren't sensitive enough. But it's still been a bit disconcerting... At least it wasn't while it was really pouring out...
The rest of my first day has gone pretty well though: my classes were interesting, and I think productive, although I think one may be a good bit of review- but it's broader in scope than the other Bible classes that I've taken, so it may well be good for me- and it's only 2 hours a week, so it seems best that I should stay in it. And the teacher seems like a good person to get to know in terms of figuring out my future, so... My Hebrew class is seeming like it will be a Lot of work (I think I did almost as much parsing for my homework for Thursday- with which I am not exactly finished after abotu 2 hours of work- as I did for a chapter of Biblical Hebrew translation last year. And this was just a paragraph. But I did learn of an Nt form in Hebrew writing, even if it is mildly archaic, which is sort of cheerful. And once I look up these people, I expect I'll know a nice bit about R. Joseph Karo's colleagues, too.) My Hebrew will be getting a workout- my Talmud class is going to be conducted in Hebrew for the most part, as well as of course, my Hebrew class. But so far I like my teachers, or at least my first impressions...

can you do aliyah #5 for shabbat, by chance? that'd be really cool if you could.
p.s. - don't let this place get to you.
