This page is to give those of you who are not lucky enough to be taking
Hebrew, in summer school, in New Jersey, a taste of what life has been like this
summer. Go ahead, be jealous!
Our
daily routine starts out with either walking to school or, if the
humidity requires, early AM studying at Starbucks...
Nick, early morning studying at
Starbucks

Our
daily ritual of crossing the street from Starbucks back to the
car, legally

After
the 7-8:30AM studying, it is time to drive to school and go to class...
Walking to class

The quad (and chapel) in summer

"Class" consists of precept

After
break is over, we return to class promptly at 10:45 to begin the lecture
portion of our day
Our normal seats in Hebrew
|
Joe, teaching us Hebrew...Ya Ra

Our
lectures are all in power point, so that we can review them just for fun
on Friday and Saturday nights.
A typical power point lecture

Another power point lecture

After
class, sometimes we go back to precept. This day we talked Kenneth into
letting us sit outside...

In the afternoons we typically study at
Starbucks again, but sometimes we make a run for the Borders and study
there...
Trevor and "The New System"at
Borders

Last
Friday, after class, we decided to make a different kind of run for the
Border
Casey, Trevor and me at On the Border
for lunch and to visit our friend Margie who works there
|
Each
night, after we are done with dinner and cleaning up, we study Hebrew
some more. These are some nice self-timer shots that we took. Yes, we
are geeks.
Our nightly study time
|
What
is perhaps more pathetic is that we continued to take not one, not two,
but many self-timer photos
Fun with Hebrew
|
It
is so great when it all starts to make sense.

Friday
afternoons the Greeks and the Hebrews get out all that summer language
aggression on the Ultimate Frisbee field.
