things I did

I actually graduated.

I watched the sunset over Jerusalem one last time.

I came back to America and reunited with friends.

I moved into a purple room.

Adam and I are living in the same state for the first time in over a year which means I see him every day. It's nuts! Also apparently I just can't get enough of living in a college town so I moved into the University District in Seattle. It's strange seeing everyone gearing up for school and knowing that I'm done. It's simultaneously liberating and oppressive. Now it's time to get down to business and find a source of income. Something I've been dabbling in up until now. But wait! I have friends coming into town this weekend so maybe after they leave I'll get serious about it. Until then I'll just have fun playing with my new toy and pretending the real world doesn't exist.

trifecta

I guess I can go home now.

The Suk

A couple of weeks ago the roommates decided to go to the Suk on Shabbat and then pass through Mea Shearim on our way home so we could be judged by the Haredi. Cool.

P.S. Please pray for our bird.

P.P.S. I'm going home in a week. Who stole my summer?

"You do not need to know dates for the test. You do not need to know dates for the test...

...however say I were to ask you Balfour Declaration. It should be obvious that the answer is November 2nd 1917. But you do not need to know dates for the test."
-Professor Musallam

This week we had finalsfinalsfinals so I spent all of my time learning about the 6 Day War, Ezekial eating a scroll (did you guys know about that? why didn't you tell me?), Theodore Herzl, the path of the Ark of the Covenant, Ayatollahs in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan, etc. Something you may or may not know about me: I'm kind of a stress case when it comes to being lost and tests. Foosball kept me sane. And I don't even like foosball! But now that they're over I can breathe for a second and then start stressing about finding a job. JK, JK. No, but seriously.
