Israel? Jordan? What?: An Introduction

Hey Everyone,

For those of you trying to keep track of where in the world I am (get a better hobby?), let me give you an update. I was in Jordan for 3.5 months, Turkey for a week, and America for three weeks. Yesterday, I landed in Israel, and I'll be here for the next 7 months. Here's why:

I will be participating in the Peace and Conflict Studies Program at the University of Haifa. and then I'll be here for a few months afterwards doing (inshallah/be'ezrat hashem) something. For now, I have a few days in Ma'aleh Adumim (right outside Jerusalem), before I go up to Haifa and I start a month long Ulpan.

About this Blog

This post is boring (I just woke up after sleeping 17 hours and am still jetlagged), but the rest of the posts hopefully won't be.

I was in Jordan last semester, so being in Israel has me feelings a lot of feelings and thinking a lot of thoughts. I am going to try to articulate some of those feelings and thoughts into this blog throughout the next half year, but for now, I'm going to try to figure out my life for the next few weeks.

Best,
Becca
