what a hora-bile day!

Badminton is easily my new favorite sport.

Today, I learned how to dance the Hora, a traditional Jewish dance originating from Isreal.
I'm not going to lie...it's intense.
I bet Jesus danced the Hora...
I bet he looked a lot better than 20 breathless college students trying to stay connected at the shoulder for 3 long minutes, though. Haha.

Needless to say, after the intense workouts of the gym, the badmiton court, and the dance floor since 6:30 am, I slept from 1:30 to 4:00.
Was it worth it to miss the great weather? Quite possibly.
However, now I have tons to homework to catch up on...

My bible study group is reading through the book of Revelation, which is really cool, because I attended a conference on the End Times last month. I could write a whole entry on my views of this, and perhaps I will soon. But for now, I have to read the entire text of "This We Believe: Successful Schools for Young Adolescents." It's been making me laugh a lot, so far. I'll share a tidbit with you...
"A successful shcool for young adolescents is...a joyful community that promotes in-depth learning and ehances students' physical and emotional well being."
Can you find the oxymoron in this sentence?
