One month has passed since I moved to Jerusalem. In this month I had volunteering, classes, my parents came, trips, and Passover. It was a very busy month but a lot of fun. I love my volunteering. I work in a soup kitchen and it is the best. I really feel like I am helping. My classes are really interesting also. I am in a Holocaust films class and a Big Bang vs. the Bible class. In the Holocaust film class we watch Holocaust movies and analyze them. I really enjoy the class. In the other calss we talk about how science and religion conincide. This class is also very interesting. Ever week we go on weekly trips. I have been on a few in Jerusalem. I went to the Begin museum, Mt. of Olives, and one week we had a sports day where all the sections competed against eachother. That was a fun day. When my parents were here we went to Efrat and also Tel Aviv. It was really nice seeing them and just hanging out. Over spring break I went on a cruise to Greece and Turkey. We left on the Monday of the Seder and got back on that Friday. The Seder on the boat was not what I was used to but it was still a lot of fun. I sat with three of my friends and these two really nice and cute old men. They didn't really speak English so I was able to practice my Hebrew which was a plus. On Tuesday we docked in Rhodos at 7 at night. We got off the boat around 8 and didn't get back on until 4. It was so much fun. We just hung out in Greece and went to bars. We really got to see how the Greece people lived. The next morning we docked in Marmaris at 9. In the morning we looked around and after lunch we went on a really neat jeep ride. It took us to the country side of Turkey and we saw waterfalls and we even "walked on water" like Jesus. It was a really fun day. The next day was out last day on the boat and it was also April Fool's Day. My friends thought it would be funny to tell me that Michael Jordan had died. I was freaking out all day. It was reallly funny. After we got off the boat I headed to Emek Hefer to spend the weekend there. It was so much fun. I then headed back to Jerusalem for the last two days of Passover. This was one of the best Passovers. I was on a cruise, was able to see friends, and I was even able to eat in a kosher for Passover resturant. What could get better than that?
Two nights ago I plulled an all nighter with two of my best friends. We watched the NCAA tourny. It was so much fun and so worth it. Tomorrow I am going on a hike. It's going to be so much fun. I am trying to make the most of the time I have left. I wonder what I can do in two months. WOW does time fly.
SEE YALL REAL SOON.
7 months in Israel
