It only took me about 3.5 days to master the Hebrew script. Seriously? I bought a book with the express purpose of mastering Hebrew Script because I was fearful of this class, and I get here, and with one day's worth of homework assignments under my belt and two days (that's actually three) classes, I have for you, Aleph-Bet a la Chavi:
Let's call it Chavi script. And if you want to see what the REAL Hebrew Script looks like, you can click here and check out the fancy, handy dandy chart that every Hebrew professor on the planet uses. Of course, I have to wait and see what the professor thinks of my take on the letters, since, as with all handwriting, things come out different. Maybe I should take on Rashi Script next? HA! But I just wanted to share my mastering what I was so scared of.
The long weekend approaches, and right now the only plans I have tentatively made are for a fellow I've met on JDate and I to perhaps get some nosh and explore Letterboxing on Monday afternoon. Other than that, I intend on doing a lot of reading in Qohelet, some exploration in Exodus for Bible class, a bit of dabbling in the Hebrew vocabulary, and reading up on something to prepare some quirky interview questions for PopJudaica's blog, AND ... yes, lots of blogging here. In the works are the following:
- Blog on Rabbi Marc D. Angel's "The Search Committee" ... long overdue, and needing to be written!
- Blog (perhaps a video blog?) on how I managed to organize myself and all there is to know about Judaism during my conversion process (a nod to Rachel at Shavua Tov! for inquiring and inspiring!).
Why must they creep up so!?
(By the way, don't tell anyone, but now I'm thinking ... wow ... becoming a Professor of Hebrew? That would be the most awesome job ever. The question is ... am I too far behind in getting started to even consider such a thing?)

You have nice handwriting . . . though I would change your zayin, tet and kuf just a drop . . .
It's never to late to master Hebrew -don't give up your aspirations to be a professor if that's what you desire.
Thank you for remembering my request - and for linking to me again ;) ...
As for the Professor thing - well why on earth not? It's never too late (says she, the up-until-now hypocrite).
Love the script, by the way.

Mottel, how about these, do they look more accurate? http://kvetching.editor.googlepages.com/z-t-k.bmp
My quiz is Wednesday! Let me know! :)
Shavua Tov: I shant forget! Though, I'll probably put the post off until you're back from your hiatus.
