So a couple weeks ago I shared the latest Bar Ilan update that standing between me and my diploma was a ptur in English.
One moment; allow me to rephrase that…
Approximately one fortnight ago, yours truly revealed an update on the outstanding situation regarding the university of Bar Ilan, where the accomplishment of a Master’s Degree [...]
I’m covered in dust as I write this from the depths of old documents, yellowed papers, stacks of ancient bills. Call it spring cleaning, call it nesting, call it what you will but I have managed to set aside three cartonim of dead trees to recycle.
What’s super fun about doing something like this - in [...]
Don’t know about you, but I can speak for myself, my husband, my family, some of my closer friends, and probably some coworkers and ex coworkers when I say that this is the lizrael update I’ve been wanting to share for a long, long time… In fact, I can pinpoint the time. It would be [...]
I don’t want to make promises, because you just never know over here… But I’m %99.99 sure that I just finished my last ever final at Bar Ilan University…

Ok, allow me to rephrase: I won’t always be a registered student.
The only time I haven’t been a registered student - since the early 80s - was the [...]
University professors to strike as of Sunday
Well, here we go again. Sort of. Last time it was the students striking over fee hikes. This time it’s the faculty striking for pay hikes.
C’mon guys… I have one more year - 3 credits - to finish. All I want to do is get my diploma so I [...]
Remember when I said I was taking my last final ever?
