do you wanna hear about my life?
oh yeah
i'm back to my nudniky, little-jewish-white-girl ways...meaning i'm not sick anymore. I started going back to the gym (really because I really missed my monkey soap operas on Nat Geo, not the treadmill). I'm up early because I rented out a fancy schmancy camera from Bezalel last night, but the person before me didn't return it. So because of his carelessness, I can't sleep in this morning. And I have no motivation to take pictures for this class...the teacher is an egocentric, lecturer who wears pink scrunchies in his squirrel-like ponytail. When I sent him a message that I was sick and couldn't make it to class, he replied:
"Nice to hear from you. Like you, I was sick in with all the symptoms. I couldn't get out of bed last week, but I made it to class on Thursday. Class went well and it was nice to see everyone. See you next week."
Best,
Yosaif
NOTICE ALL THE "I's" stacked up against the "You's" Do I really care about how you feel?
Anyways. sorry to get riled up. I made great banana bread last night and am now washing it down with some chai. This morning is starting out great.
Last weekend, a Naftali invited Sarah and me to stay with his family on Shabbos. (The family's apartment on Emek Refaim was actually Max Feldman's apartment...fancy that). It was a relief to not have to spend Shabbos at the Kvar and also to be served dinner and lunch at the King David Hotel. It was one of those dinners with more than four forks, and afterwards I tried Cognac at the bar. One of the bartenders came over to our little nook and said pleasantly, "I hope you like fresh strawberries" while depositing a plate of fresh, sliced, sweet ones.
I hope you like fresh strawberries???
What kind of question is that???!
Next weekend (meaning this thursday night) our group is leaving for our trip to the north. We are going to Haifa, doing art with some local artists on an Art kibbutz, and staying with some Bedouins. I am uuuuuuber excited (also to not have to cook and stay in the Kvar yet another weekend). I promise, I will take pictures.
I went to the grocery store yesterday to buy toothpaste. Can you believe I consumed (do you consume toothpaste?) an entire tube of Crest mint by myself since i've been here. It's like i'm starting to live in israel or something...
nneeeeeieiieee
