Normal: Chapter 50 
Suddenly, Mimi feels a surge of pity for Kayla

 

Eight days.

That means just over one week to cram: Chumash and Navi and Tefillah and Historiah and….

Mimi presses both hands to her temples. How? How is it even going to be possible? Who even dreamed up the idea of this dumb seminary test to begin with? How is anyone supposed to study for all their Hebrew subjects, all at the same time?

To top it all off, Tova’s scheduling gymnastics sessions almost every day for those who are starring in the performance, which is scheduled just a few days after the seminary test. She’s not complaining about her role in the gymnastics performance, and honestly, practicing is what gives her the energy to keep studying, but there’s no denying that it’s a lot.

And Kayla’s ideas about studying, while definitely thorough, are also… intense.
