First day of school

Hey,

Today was my first day of school. At 8:30 we took a bus to Hebrew University, and I reached my first class: Israeli Society, Culture, and Politics. It was fantastic. Our professor, from London, England, is a brilliant scholar and infused the whole class with pride for the state of Israel. Asking us questions such as: Where did Zionism start? Did it start with the beginning of the diaspora, or with Herzl. He is a really engaging teacher, I'm looking forward to taking many more classes with him in the future.
Walking around Hebrew University today was a lot of fun. We needed to walk to a certain spot on campus to pick up our "readers" for that class. Our next class was supposed to be a Jewish Texts class, but the teacher called in sick. Our class made up of 10 antsy 18 year-olds itching to get off campus, decided to take the public bus home early. The regular bus doesn't get back home to Beit Nativ until 2:30. It was quite an adventure. I'm really looking forward to the readings I have to do this afternoon in order to prepare for my next class.
Today we get to talk to a representative from the Jerusalem Post, one of Isreal's most prominent Newspapers. Later we will recieve some "gifts" from Masa, the fund that donated a lot of money to our trip tuition. I'm very excited.
My phone number is 05260422580, for those who are interested. My email is on this page, and if you would like to visit me, I'll be at the Fuchsburg Center on Agron Street.

Talk to you later!
