There is such a long distance to do between now and then, but I can't resist contemplating spending next semester in Israel. And I know that that's past 1) finishing the paper from last semester, 2) getting through this semester, and 3) tackling the shiny summer job in NYC, but I can't seem to hold back the excitement any longer.
Georgetown will soon be announcing the opportunity to study abroad at Hebrew U through a newly-established partnership with the Mount Scopus facility. They're still hammering out the differing schedules, which is why nothing has been announced yet (Israel starts after the chagim, which would present potential problems in aligning the end of the fall semester overseas with the start of the spring semester here). And they only have space for 4-5 students. But I've known about this damned program for months and the anticipation is just starting to bubble. It's been far too long since I've been back. What's really awful is that once I am back, all the whitewashing of the "matzav" that's going on in my brain right now is going to disappear. Probably immediately. And I will miss the DC community very much. But it's primarily that first thing that scares me.
And with that babble finally out on paper, perhaps I should preemptively quash this new habit I'm forming of working to strains Galgalatz in the background. It just may be affecting the quality of my study habits.
