Social Calendar

It's practically the end of the first summer session and many of our new friends are leaving soon so there are a plethora of things going on - our social calendar is overbooked!

Today we had a lunch with friends, tonight we're going over to a friend's house for a birthday party and meeting her Israeli family. Tomorrow we'll go to dinner with two friends from our Hebrew class who fly home to New Jersey and Germany (separately) on Thursday night, the last day of class.

I think we're free Thursday night but on Friday we have lunch out of town with coworkers who live here. On Friday night for Shabbat, we have the welcoming dinner for the second summer session students.

Saturday at lunch we're going over to the home of a couple who are hosting a few students. And, within the past few hours we were invited to a Saturday night dinner. Jen's taking a nap right now, all this socializing is exhausting; when will we do our Hebrew homework!?

With the conflict in the north and to the southwest, we've wanted to spend our every free minute online, reading the news and keeping up-to-date or blogging to let you all know that we're A-OK and things are still really calm in Jerusalem.
