I found the snow!!!

Today, March 2, 2012 it snowed in Jerusalem!
I have heard that it has snowed in Jerusalem, but had no idea that it would occur while i was here! I woke up early this morning, and looked outside and saw what I thought was snow. So i went outside, forgetting my shoes and coat because I was so excited, and felt hard hail coming down on me. I was depressed because I thought that this is what they may think snow was, and was pretty upset about it.
Don't worry, during my first day of New Testament class, it was snowing! I was so excited that we were let out early for a break to go and enjoy the snow. It was a blast, and a dangerous place to be with all the snowballs being made and thrown at random people. It was amazing and so great to be outside, overlooking Jerusalem in the snow. That does not happen everyday.
We then came back inside, soaked through all my clothing, but thats ok I will just up the vitamin C pills. I then really wanted to be outside and enjoy the snow, since I didnt get any at school this last fall, and was able to participate in another snowball fight. It was great, even though i am horrible at throwing snowballs, I am good at dodging them. The teachers' kids got out of school early today due to the snow, and we were able to benefit from their snowman. It was adorable and fun to take pictures with.
Our friend Sterling had to leave today, so he wanted to go out to the city one last time. Unfortunately due to it being friday, we were unable to go out to the Old City until 4 so we went to W. Jerusalem. We were able to get a cab,which was nice to not walk in the snow, and go to the shuq. The shuq is so much fun to go into. Just imagine a alley way filled with pastries, dried fruits, fish, candy, halva, and everything else possible along both sides with men yelling out the different prices for their items. It is a huge market, and reminds me of the one in Aladdin. I bought some really great pastries and dried fruit, which is almost done but oh well.
I then was able to enjoy a delicious shworma, which was the best one yet!
I then had to hurry back to take the last final for Old Testament, and guess what I am officially done with 3 of my classes, and only have 2 classes now to focus on!!!
It is an amazing feeling to be done with those classes and to know that I get to go in Turkey in 2 days, and then will go to Galilee and will have many more days of free time for the city.
