a day in the life

This post is to describe and show what a normal day here at the jay rew center is like.

Probably nothing like you imagined,

Because it sure isn’t anything like I thought it would be.

6 a.m. wake up call. Get ready for the day with my three awesome roommates: Eleisha, Hannah, and Laurann.

7 a.m. breakfast in the oasis

 {pita bread, scrambled eggs, banana, orange juice}

8 a.m. – 12 p.m. classes 

{old testament/new testament [my favorite classes taught by my favorite teachers, Brother Schade & Brother Judd], ancient near eastern studies taught by Brother Stratford}

12 p.m. lunch 

{anything from sandwiches to burritos to falafel, 

and pita of course}

1 p.m. – 3 p.m. classes 

{Israel/Palestine}

3 p.m. – 6 p.m. free time 

{mostly consisting of homework, studying, & naps; 

I'm lucky if I get to go out into the city and explore}

6 p.m. dinner 

{potatoes, mystery meat, rice, salad, 

and you guessed it…pita!}

7 p.m. – free time 

{ping pong, homework/studying, 

playing hide & go seek, etc.}

Every Monday is a field trip day,

Every Sunday is a free day,

And mini trips to the city are squeezed in

whenever possible.

Life is good.
