having a cold in j-town

so, its been a very long week this week. We started our real classes for the semester on Sunday, all of my classes haven been really great. I am taking 3 academic classes plus a Hebrew class 4 days a week. I have my Jewish education internship class, a class on halacha and its contemporary applications (which has a fantastic professor and seems as though it will be an amazing class) and a class on ancient archeology and how it relates to the bible, where we have this very strignent Israeli professor but the subject matter is very interesting. Other than class this week, there hasn't been too much going on. On Tuesday, I went to the cinemateque, not a movie theater, but a place that shows movies and has other events in J-lem, and I saw the movie "P.S - I love you" with my roommate Rachel, it was a really great movie, a big tear jerker. On Thursday I went into the Old City to pick up my Hadya necklace, this is a jewelery store where they inscribe verses onto a silver charm, mine has two very nice verses on it. One is from the liturgy of the morning service and in English means "G-d, the soul you have given to me is pure" and on the other side has a verse which correlates to my Hebrew name and it means "Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart." Also, after we picked up our necklaces, i got them with some friends, we walked down to the city center and did some window shopping. Thursday night was the Idan Raichel concert, which we came to find out was a Masa event, so everyone there was American's or other non-Israeli's who were spending a long period of time in Israel. The concert was absolutely fantastic and I had so much fun! However, this week kind of sucked because I started to get sick on Wednesday and have been feeling pretty yucky since then. I haven't been going out at night and I have been spending alot of time sleeping. And because of this cold, I was not able to go and visit the Shenker's this weekend. So instead Friday night we went to Kol Haneshama, the reform synagogue in Jerusalem, the service was alright, but the funny part was that I ran into the Klein-Katz's, a couple who used to work at OSRUI. After services me and my friends went out to dinner at a non-kosher place, hahaha, it was fun. Today me and two girlfriends went to the Israel Museum to seethe stolen art exhibit, it was really interesting, it was about all the art that the Nazi's stole from people. We also saw the shrine of the book, which houses the dead sea scrolls, it was a really fun way to spend shabbat.
