Spring Semester

Shawn is already in the fourth week of his spring semester. While he is no longer taking Arabic due to a time conflict with a Hebrew class, his class load happens to be just as full (if not more) as last semester. Shawn's classes that continue from last semester:

Modern Hebrew
Second year Akkadian
Third year Biblical Hebrew
Jews and Late Babylonian Civilization

New this semester:

Cuneiform in Canaan
Humor in the Bible

Also, he's auditing an Iconography class as well as interning at the Bible Lands Museum library twice a week.  He's doing well so far! Though the university's library hours and holdings continue to disappoint, the professors and lectures do not.

In just two weeks we get a Passover (or Pesach as they say here) break - two weeks long! One of the nice things about this break is the timing. I reach the 37th week of pregnancy (considered full term at that point) just a few days before the break starts. But even if she doesn't come during the break, it will be a nice slow time for the both of us before she makes her appearance. Looking forward to it!
