Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

The past few days have been really nice here. It's been really hot and sunny. On Friday we had a Jewish History test. I was worried about it but it turned out to not be very hard at all. Saturday was really beautiful and relaxing. That night my friends and I had a toga party. Tonight we went into Jerusalem, but I also had a lot of work to do, so I spent most of my day writing papers and doing homework.

Thursday we leave for Masada, Eilat and Gadna!
I'll update after that.

A little late...

Well, I've finally made a blog after being here for 2 weeks (though it seems like more). So I have a lot to catch you all up on. First of all, the kibbutz is absolutely beautiful! The view of the Judean Hills and Jerusalem are incredible. The weather isn't too bad either ( :

The first few days was spent getting adjusted. We got our rooms, settled in, and went on a tiyul to an archaeological site. Then came the classes. School starts at 8:30 and ends at 7:00. By the end of the day I am SO tired! Some days we go on tiyulim, which are nice breaks from having class. This past weekend I left the kibbutz and went to stay with Carmel, who was the shlicha at TBJ last year. It was so much fun. We went to Tel Aviv (my new favorite city) and I saw the Medditerranean Sea for the first time!

Well, that's all for now.
