hazed and mildly confused

10 reasons for the 'brew' in j-term:

10- somewhere, within the realm of providence, persons responding to “the call” were woven with the need to satisfy their knowledge concerning waw conversives-there was an actual audible exhale in week #2

9- the only time you will ever hear Ted say “suck it up”

8- only hebrew teachers know the meaning of buying the “first round” at the crown after the final- it is not just for the students-it is even on the syllabus

7- pastorally speaking, do we care about constructs? when we will ever endure something like- in this essay, give the ‘so what’ of infinitive constructs- on ords? seriously?

6- to discover that this class was in fact meant to be a form of hazing...there were no late night raids or beer drinking through a bong- wait- i'm wrong- it is very similiar to an organizational rite of passage- remember, we are now a rare breed-not just anyone can read hebrew- even though we have to look everything up

5- to learn (infinitive) of exceptions (prep + object-plural) in every rule (prep phrase) is (verb) exhausting (verbal adjective= participle)

4- TA’s are graced with patience, facial hair, and blazers

3- instead of spanglish, we have hebrish- it’s all tov!

2- the only place where you can debate on whether you have been furnished with a “lexicon” or a “glossary” in the back of your textbook (see emily vs. joseph case# WTF2006)

1- to be able to handle dearman again in the spring- one semester of ‘ba-als’ and ‘hookers for jesus’ wasn’t enough- bring it on- in hebrew this time
