A Class-Filled Day [Thursday, August 30, 2012]


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!
