I first started off my day finishing packing, but then realizing I had misplaced my passport. Not a good way to start my day. Eventually I got to O'Hare no problem, went through security and all and got my flight to JFK.
All of the people from Chicago then basically chilled around JFK for a while because our baggage was checked through and we got boarding passes in O'Hare. After the long wait of getting almost everyone through checking, we all went through the long and tumultuous process of security.
10.5 HOUR FLIGHT!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! Except not quite, none of the Nativers were really allowed to talk because so many people wanted to sleep. So we were basically all sleeping or talking quietly with those around us.
We landed around 5:30 local time, and the weather was gorgeous. Took an hour bus ride to this very random site to have Yossi (the director) give us a little speech about questions and how we won't leave with answers, but instead better questions. We then continued on our busses which were separated by our 2nd semester tracks until we got to Beit Nativ (where we are staying) in Jerusalem. We got our bags in our rooms, ate, and got our phones.
We start getting more serious tomorrow with orientations and all the good stuff. So far, a great start to hopefully an even better year.
