Dear friends,
Day 2 of seminary life! It's the first "real" day, as yesterday's classes were special classes in celebration of Yom Haatzmaut. I've been up since 5:45 (it gets light very early here, and my body is a bit confused!) It was odd when I realized that most of my friends and family back home most likely hadn't even gone to bed yet when I was waking up...time changes are bizarre!
Anyway, first day of "real" classes is going amazingly. (I'm on break for lunch...afternoon classes resume at 2 and go until 5:20, and then I have ulpan later tonight!) I forgot how much I love this! I forgot how much I love translating texts, even though I don't know very many words...the tutors here are very patient!
There is still much adjustment and settling in to be done, but I'm so enjoying and relishing these first few days of being back in Yerushalayim. I am so happy and grateful to be here, living and learning in Yerushalayim!
Love,
Rachel

First, I like that it's seminary because it makes me imagine that you're going to become a priest because that's where my mind goes, even though I know it's wrong on multiple levels.
Second, I'm glad that classes are going well and that you're loving translating!
Finally, don't get me started on the time change...you know I can't handle those. ;)
