Days 98 & 99

Yesterday I stayed in the Center all day, because we have our 2 big finals this week. This morning was our Ancient Near East test, which I was really worried about but luckily it ended up being even easier than the midterm was, and I felt really good about it when I was finished. Now I'm working on getting ready for the New Testament final that we have tomorrow morning.

Today after lunch I went out with some friends to take pictures in the Old City. We went to Dome of the Rock first and took some cool pictures on the Temple Mount, then we did some shopping and took pics along the way. Some of the funnest ones were handstand pictures in the middle of the road between shops with people walking past. With 4 of us at once, we only ended up with a handful of pictures where all of us are up at the same time, but the ones that worked out look really cool. When we got back me and my roommates all dressed up a little crazy and we went out to take more pictures by the signs for the JC outside the gate (to be posted soon).

The Arabic students from the Egypt study abroad got here on Tuesday night, and they'll be here for the next few days. It's kind of weird having new people around the Center, but fun to see new faces too. Tonight I played volleyball with some of them, which was a perfect break from studying. Now it's back to the googledoc for the rest of the night!
