A week away

Its sort of a somber day today at JUC. Everyone has finished there finals and are now packing for the trip home. Most of the people are leaving early tomorrow for a 6 day cultural backgrounds field study. It's sad seeing everyone getting ready to leave. Mark, Krystal, and I were hoping to travel the the Sinai in Egypt but due to some terrorist threats at specific locations that we were supposed to be going to we decided it would be wiser not go. So we have exactly one week left here in Jerusalem. It should be a good time to relax, hang out, and reflect on what we have learned these past few months. Though it is still a privileged to be living in Israel all of us are getting a little edgy to travel to Germany and then home but I am sure like everything else on this trip this week will fly by and we will be flying on our way to Germany in no time!
