Back to school...

Well into my first month of school, and it's definitely time for an update!

I began my second Masters degree, in archaeology, in the International MA program at Tel Aviv University last month. It's a small program - only eight of us - and so far it's going great. I'm taking a class in Hittite, as well as history and archaeology classes and seminars.

This past week I began a job at the school editing papers for publication in my department, which was a needed change. My schedule is going to be busy, but for good reasons!

I also got my passport recently, which I had to wait to apply for (it's a rule), so that was exciting! There are still a few more post-Aliyah things to straighten out so I'm hoping those get done quickly as well.

In my program we will have eight trips to various archaeological sites. We had our first one a couple of weeks ago, which included a visit to Zippori, which was exciting since I've been there multiple times this year digging and love the site!

Also, rainy season has begun here, which means the weather is cooling down as well. I'm still living in Yafo - it's a commute to school but I love the area. Now I'm off to research some sites and work on Hittite! :)
