So I got my dentist appointment really quickly in the end and have a temporary filling, but I have to wait for my real one to have something more permanent put in place. I have been working hard on my thesis making some progress although not half as much as I would have liked, but then who does? I have sat my Hebrew exam, for HUC, which really just about made me wont to cry…I kind of panicked in it, which is never a good thing to do in an examination. So I am not sure that I will have come out of it well; and certainly I don’t think I showed my Hebrew skills to there very best.
Again I have been really really touched by how much love and support has come my way from my amazing friends (who I guess I must have been driving slight mad with my worrying about my exam and then its aftermath). They are all really really busy with pressure in all aspects of their lives, and Daisy has been rather ill; and yet they have nothing but kind and supportive. There support and nearness is something I will miss (I’m sure I will make good friends there and some of my local ones may come and pay me a visit but it still wont be the same as here where they are only a text or phone call away.
I am also getting to know my new friends, whom I am going to be living and studying with in J-lem (almost entirely though Facebook and I almost cannot quite remember what life was like before FB).
Yesterday Mum, Dad and I went for a walk in the local Bluebell woods, these are lovely at bluebell time: Carpets of deep blue flowers amid the green with dappled light coming in though the trees. There is also something magical about the smell of bluebells and woods. It was also one of those wonderful springtime days that are a true glory of England and is something I am going to miss with a deep intensity during my stay and study in Jerusalem, although I am really starting to look forward to it now.
Some photos should follow soon.
