Last week, protests consumed the city. It was a scary time- not knowing what was going to happen next, and of course, constantly getting emails from CIEE. Luckily, this week things calmed down a considerable amount, and my colleagues and I are safe and sound- it would have been fun to get evacuated though??. BUT... these protests and Gaza nonsense ruined my trip to Israel! And for that, I'm very mad. It looks like I won't be visiting Israel this semester, but hopefully I can get there some time in the future.
On Thanksgiving CIEE had a big Thanksgiving potluck for all of the students, and it was a good effort, but it was nothing like home, obviously. However, my friends and I had our own Thanksgiving potluck and it was fab-fab-fabulous! Four Americans, two Jordanians, a German, and a Swede- the perfect combo!? Complete with mounds of stuffing, chicken (# dontknowhowtocookturkey?) and pumpkin pie, it was the perfect pick-me-up and start to my holiday season. From now on, anytime I'm awake, Christmas music WILL be on, and I am so incredibly excited about going home for Christmas. Is it bad I'm already thinking about all of the things I want to eat when I get home?? Christmas cookies are literally calling my name from across the ocean.
Yesterday I realized I haven't taken pictures for basically two months! I'm gonna get on that...Hopefully.
