8 days

we had our last out of jerusalem field trip to masada, ein gedi, the dead sea, and qumran
it was 115 degrees and 90% humidity
i almost died. almost.
i had a free dead sea scrub, i saw the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found (qumran), i hiked (again) the wilderness that David hid in from Solomon (ein gedi), and i was so hot that i didn't pay attention to what was said at Masada. 

I'm nearly done with all my shopping. Finals are the next big thing and those will be done in 2 days.  

The BYU arabic students arrived and they're staying for a few days. it's really refreshing to see new faces.  it's also really weird to see new faces.  

i got an email from my Anatomy supervisor. Luckily i've got 2 weeks at home to read anatomy while i lay out, but still, school- real school- is already coming this fast? where did my summer go? i didn't have a real summer. i had the most intense, non-relaxing summer of my life. it's been EXTRA good, but it was not relaxing in any way, shape, or form.  I feel overwhelmed.  i'd rather not spend the majority of my september with dead guys.

  2. Oh, that is cruel weather. I think that is what hell would be like. Phew! I am worn out for you! Maybe this semester will seem like a breeze to you. Just read the book "Stiff" by mary Roach. I'm getting it for you if you haven't read it yet.
