oy!

I'm avoiding the temptation to rant about the crazy anti-Israel things I've read in the past few hours because I will get angry and not do my opinions any justice. Instead, I'm going to post the INSANE to do list that I have for the next 8 days before I leave Israel!!

Thurs: Hebrew class; Skype date with EC; study for Hebrew final
Friday: Hebrew final; clean out room; packing dress rehearsal
Sat: write 3-5 page paper comparing Samuel/Kings to Chronicles; continue cleaning
Sun: last time going to St. George's and breakfast with Nathan and Sofia; Beach??? (pray for good weather for me!); study for Arch of Israel final; finish tracking down dad's movie!
Mon: study for Arch of Israel final; study for Arch of Jerusalem final; laundry;
Tues: last "Books of the Bible class"; Arch of Israel final; study for Arch of Jerusalem final; finish packing; make sure BlackBerry is functioning!!
Wednesday: move out of apartment; Arch of Jerusalem final; copy sources for "Classical Jewish Texts" paper; check out of HUJI; good bye dinner
Thursday: 3am: LEAVE FOR AIRPORT!!!!!!!! tea/coffee with Ellie in London; train to Paris; train to Rome overnight
Friday: ROME!!!!!!

At SOME point, I need to figure where I'm staying for my last 5 days in Italy (see previous post) and while in Italy, reserve my place in the Ireland tour, I WILL need to edit the paper on Kings vs. Chronicles and email it in by Feb 22. Should also email the Letter of Recommendation forms to everyone who has agreed to write a letter for me so far ...

yeah ... I'm not going to be busy at ALL in the next week, am I?? I still can't really believe in ONE WEEK (almost to the minute!!) I'll be leaving Jerusalem behind me (for now) and moving on ... that's actually a rather sad thought.

Jerusalem has certainly been a roller coaster in ALL ways. This city has stretched my boundaries and I can honestly say that I'm not the same person now as I was when I got here (though, people at home, don't worry, you'll still recognize me!!). I'm not going into the introspection that my bidding Jerusalem adieu deserves right now ... I'll save that for another post ... possibly from BG airport which is the next free moment I see ...
