man.
it's been a week since i posted.
man.
this is a short update, because i don't want to let you all down....
it's been a hard week, as far as learning goes. The learning day goes from 8:45 am - 7:15 pm, 10.5 hours, with 2 hours in the middle for praying and lunch. Out of the 8.5 hours of learning time, 3.5 are the morning Gemara (Talmud) period, which includes lessons with Rav Natan (shiurim) and studying with a partner (chevruta learning).
My connection to the Gemara has been crap this week. For various reasons. But crap, that's the point. And, in my way, I spin off of the catalyst of crappy learning (which manifests as my mind refusing to budge another inch on a difficult passage) and plummet into a general grouchiness/despair/rage, which usually results in a nap. Like a 4-year old gets a nap after a good tantrum.
Huh.
In other news, I gave my passport to the woman from the Ministry of the Interior. When I get it back, it will have a new visa in it, the visa of a NEW IMMIGRANT. Exciting.

dear stu,
just recently my dad said he was puttimg up a meeting for me. sothen i was asked to focus in on what i would want for myself and loved ones. and it's been a real interesting thought process. i find it's easier to pray for somenone else. why is that?
now it's down to my wants and needs. and i've been struggling what it would be? so i asked wendy and she gave me some good advice. so i pose the question to you.if you were to have the light on you so to speek what would you say? or what would you do in my shoes?
sorry if this is to vague.
i miss you man.
luke
