and so it begins

i don’t want to jinx myself, as i have not officially received the phone call or letter of acceptance to this year’s MBA program at the uni, however i was invited to participate in the official program kick-off and be introduced to the professors and other students. of course, dekel was with me, and it is so exciting that we will be (hopefully) going through this process together. it will be challenging, but i am beyond excited that by my 27th birthday, i will be graduating with my second degree. wooo hoo!

anyways, so we treked it this morning to the uni to sit through some unnecessary ramblings by the school’s head director, you know what im talking about, the stories of past students, the technical details and logistics of it all, yeah, yeah. blah blah. at least coffee and croissants were provided and daydreaming was allowed.

how nifty do we look with name badges?

after sitting through orientation, we headed to the german colony near the port of haifa for a bite to eat in the sunshine. it was seriously perfect weather today. we lunched at ‘garden’ cafe and split a halloumi salad. i was first introduced to this salad about a year ago and it’s soooo yummy!!! the halloumi cheese is usually fried and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and its perfect with the fresh, cruncy cucumbers and tomatoes with vinegrette. deliciousness.
