Done with Finals - An end to the Adventure in Israel

Well, the end of my semester abroad at Jerusalem University College in Israel is coming up. I leave on Saturday (5-5-2012) morning for five days, camping and riding camel around the desert in Jordan for my Cultural Backgrounds class. I get to have the opportunity to ride camels, sleep in a Bedouin tent, eat traditional Bedouin food, and play in the sand with the scorpions and other desert critters. But before that great fun in the sun, I had to finish my finals that included a papers, which all the pages added totaled 40 pages and also exams. One exam, the History of the Church in the East, well lets just say I am hoping my grade doesn't transfer over, just my credit back to Northwestern College. All the other finals were more or less better. After my field study in Jordan I will leave for the States/home on May 11, my birthday, what a great birthday present, being back home in Minnesota and seeing my family and friends.

So, I'm writing what I think will be my last blog while in Israel, I will blog a postscript of my adventure in the Holy Land when I return to the States.

Today, I had a semi-free day with shopping in the Old City and going to the bar (Zollis) one last time with a good friend, Hannah and the the rest of the bar gang. I will miss these new friends that I have grown and learned with. I am lucky to call them friends, but most of all brothers and sisters in Christ.

I'll post pictures when I get back home. If you have been reading my posts thanks and I hope your able to visit this awesome land filled with history, great culture, nice people, and an old world feel. I know I will miss this place.
