some things change while others stay the same

Things have been much the same as normal with my working on my thesis; i have had time to keep up with friends though, Sam came up for a short vist and among other things we went bowling, i dont think i have been in about 15 years. Needless to say i was not very good...I have also been to synagogue a couple of times, i have been rather lax in that regared in the past few months. Aside from that i have been working on a couple of actual 'jewish studies' things rather than just my thesis and using my sisters wii while she is on hoilday.

long time no posting

Well I do seem to have been negelecting my blog somewhat, but then i have been very busy. I have now almost finnished conducting my interviews, I only have two left to do which when down this should bring me to a total or 31 interviews. Which is really a lot considering that my methods is more a qualative rather than quonative one. I have also been making progress with transcribing my interviews I have done twenty of them; although i am still massivly beind schedual on that front.

On the other main area I am progressing well with the stuff I need to do before i go to Israel next year to train as a rabbi.
