First study abroad blog post! I hope I can remember to keep this up. As a preface: I am studying for the semester in Jerusalem at Hebrew University’s Rothberg International School. I am living in an apartment with four students: two Israelis, a French girl, and a Korean man. My room is small and cold and rather bare but I’m working on making it more homey.
We got in yesterday morning after something like 24 hours of travel. I fell asleep at 7:30 and woke up at 5:45, which is not bad considering usually when I travel I’m up at 2 or 3.
I don’t have classes until Monday so for now I’m mostly hanging out with people I met on the flight over. We have become fast friends, which is nice. One worry down, six million to go. Today we got breakfast at a bakery (burekas are the world’s greatest invention, as far as I’m concerned - for those of you who are not in the know, they are flaky pastry-like things with potato or cheese filling and also happen to be delicious) and then headed over to the market (or makolet) to get some food. Right now I’m hanging out in an internet cafe because there is no internet in my apartment, a fact which devastates me to no end. Internet! I need you!
That’s all for now, Shabbat is starting in a couple minutes. I’ll update again when I have time. Have a wonderful day! :)
