These past few weeks I have just been trying to soak up every second that I have left here in Jerusalem. Now we are down to one week left! I can't believe how this summer has flown by. I have learned and grown so much and I am so grateful that I have had this opportunity.
This week we are all back in study mode. We have two finals and a paper left before we are all through with our school work. It has been hard for me to focus on my studies, but I hope that I can pull out some decent grades. I have been procrastinating my study time and so tonight I am going to pay the price by setting up camp in the Shekel Shaq, or some other study room, with my gummies, liter of Coke and Ali Baba candy bars. Wish me luck!
Other news includes our field trip to Masada, Ein Gedi, Qumran, and the Dead Sea. Out of all the places that we went, I would have to say that our time at the Dead Sea was the most fun. We floated on top of the water (it feels to strange!) and took exfoliating mud baths which left our skin feeling nice and smooth.
Life here in Jerusalem has been great and I wish that all of you could come and experience this Holy Land for yourselves. I can only hope that when I get home I can sufficiently represent the significance, history and beauty of this land through the sharing of my experiences here.
