I am enjoying myself, a lot. It is a ten month, first year of college program for High School graduates. I am having tons of fun and learning a lot too. There are seven groups here on Year Course. Each group has a one week orientation when they arrive in Israel.
Every group has a slightly different itinerary.
There are two different Army things, one is called Sar-El and is where you just work on an army base and the other is called Marva and is actual basic training. My group, Kvutzah Bet, went to Kibbutz Ketura , after our one orientation, which was at Beit Riklis, in Jerusalem. At the Orientation we met the staff and got to know our group and talked about the year. Kibbutz Ketura is located in the South of Israel, about forty-five minutes from Eilat. Some people in my group had permanent jobs and others had a different job every day that they worked, which was every other day.
