Hey everyone!
I would just like to let everyone know that we arrived safely this afternoon and are all getting settled in. I have already met so many people that all seem awesome! I have to go to sleep now but I will write as soon as possible!

The Preamble
First of all, shout out to Adam for naming my blog for me. Sadly, I haven't thought of a better title yet so if you have any ideas of something witty or just plain genius please tell.
I leave in four days for Israel. I've grown up my entire life hearing about how wonderful it is and finally I'll be able to see it for myself!
For those who don't know what I'm doing, I am going on a program called Tichon Ramah Yerushalayim-or TRY for short. I will be living in a dorm setting in Jerusalem with around 50 other American/Canadian students for four months. I will be taking all my classes that I would have been taking back at Eagan but I will also be taking Hebrew and Israel Core Course-or ICC. In ICC we will be learning about Israel's history from biblical times to present and every few days visit what we have learned about. I have heard that this class is one of the most amazing things about TRY.
Along with schooling I will be able to visit friends and family and do a bit of exploring of Jerusalem in my spare time.
I wish I could say goodbye to everyone individually before I leave. Unfortunately, the fact that I still have quite a bit of homework, still need to go shopping, and I'm not even halfway done with packing means that that is not going to happen. Luckily, I'll have skype, facebook, snapchat, and of course, my blog to stay in contact with people.
Don't forget to keep in touch!
