As of approximately 2 min ago, I sent in my final assignment for graduate school. Can I believe that it's over? Hardly. It's funny to think that only a little over 15 months ago, I hadn't even heard of this program. What began as a gasp looking at an advertisement for this program in a South African magazine has culminated now in a semester in the West Bank - complete with hearing gunshots this morning celebrating the release of 429 Palestinian prisoners. Whew.
Some of the highlights of the program include (but are not limited to) the following:
- meeting FDB (Dr. Bronkema) and Sharlene with my mom at the Donut Building last year, early December (American Baptist headquarters - nicknamed "donut" b/c of the unusual shape of the building)
- getting to live at home
- the "characters" in my cohort (need I say more? :) )
- deciding to come to the West Bank (after prolonged conversations and "nagging" by Nash - haha)
- Being here in the West Bank
- Dr. Stapleford's class - i laughed everyday (esp. his graph depicted proximity to Canada related to need for grace)
- Mwamba - NOT!
PRAISE HIM!!
