Studying a Storm

I can hardly believe that class only started yesterday! Already I've learned bucket-loads. And I've realized that contrary to what I was originally planning on (but not necessarily hoping for), I won't have much time for traveling during the week. So I will simply confine any excursions to the weekend, which is just fine with me. It's a little less to worry about. This weekend, I am going to the Old City with some classmates, and I am super excited. I met some fellow Utahans (U of U goers) this afternoon, and it was ridiculously and perhaps pathetically exciting. I mean, we were practically jumping up and down. Suave? No. But characteristic? No. So I suppose that because it was somewhat of an anomalous action, I'm okay with it.

My professor is the bomb-diggity squared. Seriously. Maybe even cubed. I love her with a love that even rivals the Griggs-love. If any of you reading this share that Griggs-love, you know how serious I am. I have class on Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm and Monday to Thursday from 8:30 to 2:15, with about an hour's worth of breaks every day. There are 11 or 12 people in my class, the majority of whom are from the states, but which also include an Italian, a Dane, and a Spaniard. Everyone's awes and the work is intense, usually requiring at least 3 hours of study a night. I've finished for today, but will probably review again for tomz. Oh man! I think that's it. I will post more pictures either this weekend or on Sunday. Just to enlighten any confused readers, the Sabbath day in Israel is Saturday. This means that Sunday through Thursday is a business week, while Friday and Saturday comprise a weekend. Alrighty, I will post again after my Old City Tour!
