It’s sandwich day. Every [Friday] I take Pudge the Fish a peanut butter sandwich…and today we were out of peanut butter. So I asked my sister what to give him and she said “a tuna sandwich.” I can’t give Pudge tuna! Do you know what tuna is? IT’S FISH! If I give Pudge tuna, I’d be an abomination! I’m late because I had to go to the store and get peanut butter ‘cause all we have is…is stinkin’ tuna! (Why is this so important, you may ask?) Pudge controls the weather.
While this quote may hold little significance to many of you, it means the world to me. Okay, maybe it doesn’t mean the world to me, but it holds a special place in my heart. Friday at the Jerusalem Center is sandwich day. There has never been a Friday that I haven’t eaten a sandwich of some sort for lunch. Whether it’s meat, tuna, peanut butter, egg, or veggie, I am enjoying a sandwich. And who better to explain the importance of Friday as sandwich day than a little Hawaiian girl by the name of Lilo?
Classes went well today! We had Old Testament, Ancient Near Eastern Studies, and Islam. I have to confess that I didn’t pay that much attention to Islam. The good news is that we only have one more day of that class until we are free! I am not excited about this at all…as you can tell. I am just so tired of going to that class and having a leftist political view shoved down my throat… The end of the term is in two weeks from today. It is so crazy! Our last finals are on July 5th, and then we will only have two more classes until we go home: New Testament and a continuation of Ancient Near Eastern Studies.
The afternoon was fairly quiet in the J.C. While some people chose to visit the Garden Tomb, I chose to stay in and get caught up on some sleep and some reading. However, I did very little sleep. I did do a lot of reading; I ended up finishing one of my books. I should have read for an assignment that is due on Sunday, but that would have made way too much sense! Rather I sat on a stationary bike and read I’ll Walk Alone by Mary Higgins Clark. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
This evening we were able to learn a few Israeli Folk Dances. It was so much fun! I wouldn’t mind taking a few classes when I get back to the states. It was so hot in there, but it was so worth it! I don’t know any of the names of any of the songs that we danced, though. They came from different eras… We ended the evening of dance with the Twist and with the Macarena. What would you expect from a bunch of American college students? Haha but it was really fun to bond that way. We were soaked by the time 80 of us left the gym… I hope we are able to do something like that again! I’m sure that some of us could remember the dances. We should just hold our own Israeli dance party some night. That would be really fun! We ended the night by watching a couple of movies. Some people watched the Guardian while I chose to watch Father of the Bride Part II with Megan Miller and Alyse Allen. I hadn’t seen this movie in the longest time! I forgot how funny it was. Steve Martin really made this movie. Very few actors could have pulled it off.
It was a very pleasant and relaxing day in Jerusalem. I am really looking forward to the Sabbath Day tomorrow. I have really needed it the past couple of days!
