Sorry I'm getting really bad about posting frequently- it's been an insane week trying to get stuff done before my mom and Rebecca get here. I spent most of the past week either in class, sleeping, or working on my foreign policy paper, but I'll try and remember the things I did besides that. Tuesday night we had Erev Nativ- for the first part we learned about Hanukkah. I was in the singing group so we sang lots of Hanukkah songs. Then we made menorahs! That was fun. I lit the menorah I made last night. Wednesday night I hung out with Kanoff! He's here staffing a confirmation trip. Wednesday night at 2 in the morning I said bye to Jake because he left for IC until this Friday. Thursday was a normal day, and then Friday was shabbat! I stayed on base this shabbat and slept for most of it. I had dinner at the hotel where Kanoff's group was because Misha's brother is on the trip, so we went together. Then I went to bed at 9:15pm and did not wake up until noon on Saturday, just in time to grab lunch at Beit Nativ. Then I just hung out with friends for the afternoon and had Holy Bagel for dinner.
Sunday was also just classes... We did have a mini art history field trip though. My teacher curated an exhibit on Hebrew U campus, so we visited that. While she was taking us through it, a bird pooped on the floor of the exhibit- haha. It was cool because we were allowed to touch the art in the exhibit, because it was really for blind people. Then it was the first night of Hanukkah! We all gathered in this room with a lot of windows that face the main street and lined up our menorahs that we made. We all lit them and sang Hanukkah songs and ate jelly donuts. It was pretty cute.
Sorry for being so boring. This is just such a stressful time with finals coming up! Today I had classes and now I'm doing work... no surprises there!
HAPPY HANUKKAH!!!
