I am happy to report I am not the only spiritual traveler in Jerusalem (duh, but its nice to find someone who jumps around to religious institutions differing from their own)!
I had a lovely conversation with a girl who is studying here for two years (thus putting my homesickness to shame) with a lot of the same thoughts and feelings about the goings on. She went to a Christian college but studied at Jewish institutions having a similar experience as me at Catholic and Christian institutions. She is now studying for her Masters in Semitics (Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, etc.) and applied to many of the same schools I will be applying to in the Fall.
Despite not being accepted to any of them but this one, her outlook was optimistic and infectious. She really brightened my day with her story.
I am about to travel into Modern Jerusalem to watch the USA v. Ghana match at a pub for my first night of legal adventuring (also my first night doing so in Jerusalem) with a group of international students. Wish me luck!
