Ra'annanananananna and real life school

Hello! I know I said everyday, but again, I lied.

What has been happening?!
This past weekend I went with my friend Loren to her friends house in Ra'annana. It was awesome! It was also weird though to see houses and buildings not made or Jerusalem stone and to see girls wearing shorts and not being stared down by the religious people. The people we stayed with were absolutely amazing. So welcoming and open. Me and Loren actually sat and just talked with Jon's mom for an hour because she was so nice.

It was also awesome because we talked to her about the army and it was a new and different perspective which was awesome.

We went to a pool going away party for his friend too and it was awesome to just hang out with Israeli kids and get out of our Nativ bubble.

Sunday started real classes. I also took my Ulpan final and since I didn't fail I don't know what my score was but I DIDN'T FAIL! That means more credits for school!!!!

I started a class called battle of the bible which wasn't for me. Too much history not enough theology. But then I took a class on Islamic cultures and perspective and it is amazing. Our teacher is a Palestinian American and old and very knowledgable in the going ons of the world around him. He's great and every new piece of information he's had experience with and can give us real life examples and ideas. It's amazing.

Today we started new Ulpan classes and I tried a class in Talmud. I absolutely loved it. It was interesting and thought provoking and interactive and the teacher talked to us not at us. It is going to be amazing and I'm so excited to be in that class instead of in the battle class.

By the way, this week is shopping week. At Hebrew U, during the first week of classes students have the option to sit in on other classes that they aren't signed up for to see if thy would like to switch to another class that's why I've taken 5 classes in 2 days and may be going to a few more in the next days. I will be dropping down to having 3 classes and one class of Ulpan for the full semester.

Just some extra info.

Okay, now I have hassidim so you'll hear about that class next time! Which could be tomorrow... Or Thursday..... K LOVE YOU GUYS BYE.

Keep It Sassy,
Miriam
