So today started off with an early morning class, on top of
jetlag. Regional Studies was my first class at 8:00 am, followed by a 4 hour
class period of Old Testament Archaeology. Both of the classes seem quite
interesting though I must admit four hours was a little long.
Once they were done, I went to the library to read up for my
Land and Bible class. I also studied the Hebrew alphabet because I have a quiz
tomorrow and I am almost prepared for it! I am super excited that I will be
able to read the Hebrew signs around town and on the map for our Regional
Studies class.
Tonight consisted of playing the piano again in the Miklat and
studying for Hebrew on the chalkboard. My day was pretty standard for a school
day and I am having fun getting into the groove of studying over here.
Tomorrow is the first Regional Studies hike! We are hiking from
where we live in Yad HaShmonah to Ein Farah. It is estimated to be about an 8
mile hike, so it should be harder than Jerusalem was but I am sure we will make
it! :)
Also one thing I am super excited for is our last hike in
Regional Studies. We will be hiking form Jericho to Jerusalem which will be 14
miles of rugged terrain. Jesus did this hike a lot! I’m so excited to be able
to do this and all hikes and just learn about all the history of this land and
connect it to the Bible! Yay!
Also shout out to my parents! Happy Anniversary! I love you
both so much!
Well that is all for now! I should probably head off to bed.
Tomorrow is our first Shabbat, so I’m quite excited and other than that it is
just a normal day of classes with a hike in the middle and our first chapel to
finish it off!
Basically I am praying that I get enough sleep that I am
able to do well on the quiz and make it through the day tomorrow! Thank you so
much for reading this! I am having so much fun with this blog so far! Love you!
