I\’ve neglected to update my blog because October has been an absolute whirlwind of activity for me.  As mentioned previously (see below), I went to Cincy to visit Hebrew Union College. I got back about ten days ago, and already I\’m once again in the Tampa Airport (TPA) and on my way again.  This time,Continue reading “Gone, Gone, to NYC…”

As mentioned previously, I\’m currently in the process of finding out where I\’m going to pursue my PhD. One of the schools on my shortlist (though it\’s far less certain whether I\’ll be on theirs!) is Hebrew Union College.

I have a confession to make: I\’ve been a \”lurker\” for some months now; always following and reading, never writing.  Part is because I see some of the blogs and posts of others and wonder, \”What can I add to that?\”  In fact, this is very much the question that most grad students that I\’veContinue reading “Trepid Steps: Into the Sea of Biblioblogs”
