Weekly Update :)

FINALS ARE DONE!!!!! That is the biggest relief of the week :)  Seeing that I didn't keep up my journal as well as I usually do this week you are just going to get the highlights of the week instead.  Here we go...

Things I learned:
-Bounty Bars are the new replacement of popcorn as a study snack (they don't have popcorn here and it's so sad but coconut and chocolate do wonders too!)
-Power naps on the couch are a real thing and are definite lifesavers
-Finding spots to study is a struggle when 82 others are trying to do the same thing too...it sometimes resulted with me laying on the cool tile of the 8th floor because everywhere else you go inside and out were just HOT and filled with high stress from everyone else
-Memorization cramming actually pulled through for me...miracles!
-Quick rounds of speed on the basketball court and ping pong tournaments make for great study breaks
-Finding time to be alone in the scriptures or singing hymns was a saving grace
-You can either laugh or cry your way through life....let me just tell you laughing is the best option! :)

FUN things I still managed to do this week:
-Elias Heizelberg, 100 year old Holocaust survivor, came and talked with us
-Back massages from Becca
-Hezekiah's Tunnel
-Jewish Bakery
-FHE: played on a playground and learned about everyone's horoscopes
-Umbrella Street and a fun puzzle store
-Light Show in the Old City at night
-Indiana Jones movie night in prep for Jordan this upcoming week
-Great friends and study buddies who helped me keep my sanity this week :)

Next upcoming adventure:
-Jordan :)  We leave Monday and will get back Thursday evening.  Yay!!!
