Studies and New Friends

Well, I couldn't hold off for ALL of finals.  I have to let you all know what I've been up to.  So, what have I been up to?  Well, a lot of this. . .

Yes, I wrote all of that.  These are some of the interconnected pathways we had to know for biochemistry.  I passed!

And a lot of this. . .

This is me, freaking out.

That is, studying in the library and mild head explosions.  Don't worry, I usually find all of the pieces afterwards.

Only two more exams to go!  I've passed them all so far (thank God), although I'm not so sure about this one I took yesterday.  It might not have been so hot.

I took a study break last weekend to go on my bi-weekly trip to Um Batin to teach English to Bedouin girls.  This last weekend, though, we took them on a field trip to a nice park near Kiryat Gat. 

After we played a few games, we ate lunch!

Here are some of the beautiful ladies.  I think there were a total of around 30 of us.

Then we started picture time!  This is Sibell :)

Meet Safa :)

and Aslaam :)

And Aslaam (again, lol, a common name, I guess)

And Nahalah

"Come with me if you like to eat," she told me, as she let me down to the carob tree.  It took awhile for me to interpret "caroob." I thought the taste was so familiar, but I just couldn't place it.

They're doing the John Cena thing.

 

I've got lots of "caroob!"

Picture time again!

Aslaam is such a sweetheart :)

She's about to stick it in my face. She's so funny!

These beautiful girls are so eager to learn, and they're incredibly sweet. I learn a lot from them, too, and I really love hanging out with them. I can't wait to go back and see them.  I'll miss them over break, but I'll be back in January :D

Well, it's like 2:30am.  I don't know what's wrong with me.  I need to get to SLEEP!

Lyla tov!
