Can't believe it's already 2012! As sad as it is to admit, our awaiting airplane will unfortunately depart from this captivating country exactly three weeks from tomorrow. On a more positive outlook, we still have three Shabbats left so basically, I still have all of camp left (since we spend three Shabbats at camp per session).

    Over the past week, we've had a Chanukkah party, led Zionist seminar presentations, studied the First Aliya and the different denominations of Judaism, ate dinner on a Kibbutz, interviewed random Israelis on the streets of Tel Aviv, spent a night in Bedouin tents, rode camels, partied for New Years, and most importantly, enjoyed my new red hair! We have been busy busy busy while balancing Tiyulim, Sequentials, Core Class, the holidays, and just a tiny, little bit of fun here and there. While today is filled with Core Class and Sequentials on campus, the upcoming week focuses on studying the Holocaust, including a visit to Yad Vashem. To wrap it all up, my Core Class teacher, Reuven, invited us to spend the Free Weekend with his family!
