Hello friends and family!
Tomorrow I am starting my journey to Israel. I leave at 9 pm for Newark and from there fly to direct to Israel on El Al. I arrive in Tel Aviv at 6:30 am and from there my group will be driven to Beer Sheva.
The first six weeks I am in Israel I will be participating in an Ulpan. Ulpan is a language intensive course and should prepare me with the basics of speaking Hebrew, if not more. I'm really excited to see how fast my Hebrew will improve during that time.
After the first six weeks I then start the spring semester taking classes in English along with my Hebrew course.
I will be living in a student apartment not far from the university - I will post pictures as soon as I can!
Ibex hanging out at the Ein Gedi youth hostel. It was a whole pack with kids and grandparents.
Hey Nat - I'm looking forward to reading all about your adventures. Thanks for posting this blog and for keeping us all updated. Love, Sara
