Day 34

A.K.A. My Birthday!

It was such a great day. It started off with me waking up to a giant pile of balloons and a web of streamers across my room. My Mom and my roommates teamed up to decorate my room the best ever. Plus the outside of my door was covered in notes from people at the Center (they do this for everyone's birthdays). Then I had breakfast, and studied for a little bit. Announcements (including some more info on what happened at Gaza), linen exchange, Old Testament midterm (dominated), lunch (Mexican food. Yes.), Hebrew class (midterm review), Judaism review, playing, dinner, almost going to see Iron Man 2, going to an obligatory forum instead, learning about the I/P Conflict from the perspective of a Palestinian activist, more playing, laughing with roommates for a really long time, and now blogging. Since the day wasn't filled with too much excitement I have a different surprise: Pictures!

At the Knessat


Zoom in close and see if you can see the mustache Jessie accidentally gave me when she was taking this picture


A cool building right outside the Old City on the West side. I just liked how the construction materials matched the shutters!


The Supreme Court building and me and Tyler taking a nap.


Dancing with Palestinian kids outside the lower gates


Going into the Micah Caves
