Tuesday February 9th

The numbers in Ulpan is getting smaller and smaller! EVeryone is sickk its gross. My ulpan buddy, Danielle, didnt come today so i was bored. Hate to be cocky but we're the smartest ones in the class, we sit there and coast through. The Teacher barely calls on us anymore because she wants to give other students a chance. It was boring without my partner today.

After Ulpan met Trudy, my religy friend from the Meor trip, for lunch at Sams bagels, just a 5 minute cab ride away. What a rip off these cab drivers are. A cabride that was less then 5 minutes away costed me 20 shekles= $5. RIPPP OFFF!!! Anyway, it was really nice to see her. She bought me lunch, it was really sweet. I fought her but she insisted on buying which was nice. I felt SOOO bad missing lunch at her house on satursday when I was sick, she was very concerned! We caught up on eachothers lives. She invited me to this really nice shabbaton at her house this weekend. Shes having a bunch of girls my age, most of whom went on the Meor trip and are now studying abroad at a bunch of the different schools in israel, over for a shabbaton this weekend. Shes putting them in a bunch of her friends housing in the area for shabbat and having everyone at her house for friday night dinner, and 3rd meal on saturday + a bunch of programs during the day. Sounded really nice. She promised she would put me in her house and give me my own room! Andddd she wanted me to come on Thursdaynight and help her bake the challah from scratch because I told her I loveeee doing that! Sounded like a lot of funn but I decided to try and get on the ski trip with my friends so I said I would let her know.

2 really good options for the weekend cant decide:
-Option A: Bake challah with trudy thursday night, Dead sea friday, come back at 3, shower, change, cab over to trudys for shabbat, come back saturday night

-option b: Leave friday morning at 4 am for the Ski trip with a few of my friends, away from twins, in Tsafat, come back late saturday night

hmmmm.....'

-After lunch, cabbed back here and went to the Israel museum with a bunch of people. The twins and I took a cab, some other people took busses. The cab driver had NOOO idea where the israel museum was. We were so confused. He dropped us in guam and we eventually found it after walking for a while. The Israel museum is sooo boring. I remembered it being boring but I figured I haddd to go because Im in israel. The only good part is the Ahava statue outside that you climb on and take fun pictures with, other then that it sucks. The sun was setting so we took a lot of really nice pictures outside and in front of the statue, it was really pretty. I went with a bunch of girls that live on lauren and danielles floor, the religy girls, there was like 10 of us. Boring, but ok.

-After the museum came back to NOOO water in the apartment. They are doing work somewhere in the student village where we live and turned off alll the water supply of the entire complex. They said we wouldnt get back until late tonight! So went to the supermarket with rosie because we have 0 food. Was frustrated at the lack of english in the supermarket again. Tried to buy meat BUT Rosie and I saw a GIANT bug crawling in the meat counter. I was repulsed!!! yuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

-Came back, stillll no water! And it was dinner time, so Rosie and I ate in the Internet cafe. had such good Veggie pizza. I dont know how the man that works there does it. He is the waiter, the cook, the bustboy, and works behind the bar. No help! and the food tastes soooo gooood!!!


-Got a call from the Rape Crises center of Jerusalem today!! I have an interview on Thursday at 530. The location of the center is confidential, so I have to meet them at the McDonalds in Jerusalem by Ben Yehuda street and they will bring me to a special location for the interview. AHHH!
