Hebrew, Hebrew, Hebrew! All day long, that’s all I do! I get up at quarter to six, go to the student center, study before class (and, so it seems, receive a congratulatory comment about my diligence from Marilyn as she comes into work), go to class, come back to the student center, study, study, study, eventually leave and go back to my dorm where I study some more. And yet, I’m hard pressed to actually have it all done by the time class starts the following morning. Ugh.

But, on the bright side, on my way back from a break during class, I ran into Marilyn and got to chat with her for a few minutes. She’s back this week from a month long vacation from Asbury and it’s nice to see her around. When you’ve been on a campus like Asbury’s for long enough, it’s hard to tell how on the edge people would seem to the outside world, but in the world of Asbury, Marilyn’s personality always borders on the offensive (and for some, I’m sure, falls into it). This is what I love about Marilyn. This is, not, however, what I love about Asbury.

Friday, we do not have class, so currently, the plan is to plant some flowers with Marilyn in the little garden behind one of Asbury’s many chapels. It will be interesting, for sure! And a good break from Hebrew.
