Some Wise Words

"Welcome the experiences that make you go beyond yourself and you will grow."

Strike a Pose

It's finals week! 
Three down, two to go. So many facts. So many details. So little time. Can I do it? 

While Dr. Muhlestein was discussing the geographic advantages of  the City of David, I was eagerly awaiting the upcoming trek through Hezekiah's Tunnel.  

With this pose, no doubt. 
I started studying for my Judaism and Palestinian finals this morning, but was quickly seduced* by a mid-moring nap, followed by 87 minutes of a very inspiring podcast! (check out Julie Beck and her daughters here), and then another nap (don't judge: I shut down when I'm overstressed...). 

I might not know much about the White Papers or the British Mandate or Haganah, but I can tell you all about JB and her vision of motherhood. That's gotta count for something, right? 

OK, ok, okay. It's time to buckle down. 
Here's the plan: 
gym. study. make flashcards (since we're going to be on a field trip to BETHLEHEM all day tomorrow I need something to study with. Although, who really wants to study when they're in Bethlehem, herding sheep and watching the sunset with 40 awesome people? So excited!). Feast at dinner. study some more. decorate flashcards. study New Testament. sleep. 

Good or not, here goes nothin'! 

Tuesday Afternoon, I await your glorious entry, which will mark the end of all major tests and finals. 
Regards, 
kN
