19 November - Studying on the Roof

Everyone was torn today between going out and studying for our huge New Testament midterm. Everybody is stressed about the test because we all have new professors and are not sure on how they will test us, BUT we were recently allowed to go out again so everybody wants to leave! I figured out a compromise, and was somehow able to convince 4 other people to come with me. We went to one site with everyone - the Russian Orthodox church on the Mount of Olives, then we went into the Old City and sat on the roof of the art studio and studied for almost 2 hours! Then we walked into the Jaffa gate area and got some pizza from Jacob's pizza [YUM]. Then we walked across the city to a park where the rest of everybody was playing football...EARLY TURKEY BOWL!! So fun and festive. The weather was amazing today.
