Sunday

Today was my first official day of classes at Hebrew U. Sitting through four hours of Hebrew gets difficult but I know in the end it will be worth it. By the end of this, first class I am starting to understand more and more of the conversation that I hear around me. By the end of the day, I was so exhausted that I took a quick nap. When I woke up my roommate Oliver and I went for a run. We have made it a goal of ours to go for a run/jog at least four times a week while in Jerusalem. It's so enjoyable running through the parks here in Jerusalem. The people that live here are all so active. Everywhere you look, you see groups of kids and adults playing soccer, football, basketball and families enjoying picnics. Last night I went to a concert that costs only one shekel to get into. It was an amazing experience going to an Israeli concert. The atmosphere that surrounded and enveloped the bands and fans alike was different then any concert in America I had ever been to. I ended up buying a t-shirt from one of the many vendors there. A few nights ago I went to the Israel vs. Malta soccer match, it was very intense needless to say, Israel won the match! One of the Israeli team photographers snapped this photo of us.
