Sorry it's been a while since I last updated - it's been busy here! Regular university classes have finally started (good-bye 5.5 hours of Hebrew class a day!) and stuff has been pretty crazy. I haven't finalized my schedule yet, but when I do I'll be suuuuuure to post the courses here! What have I done since the last update...I went to a Hadag Nachash concert in Jerusalem. They are an Israeli music group, very popular here! I booked my trip to Europe over Passover break - Rome, Venice, Florence, Paris, here I come! Any suggestions of things I must see while I am away? Post suggestions in the comments section (yes, this is for you, Barry...). The weather has been super crazy here. A few days ago there was a thunderstorm, followed by hail and today it has been so windy that the sand and dust from the surrounding Judean Desert is being blown around (see picture on Facebook). I'd post pictures here, but I'm not totally sure how to get pictures here from my Blackberry. Maybe one day soon!
The situation here with regards to what is happening in Egypt is cautious - Israel, in general, is worried that there is a possibility that whoever gets control of the country might cancel the Camp David agreement, which is (obviously) a very important (and the longest lasting) peace agreement between Israel and any of its neighbours. Also, the unrest in Egypt is spreading to the rest of the Middle East, and Israel is worried about it becoming more of an issue in Jordan, since that is also a fairly peaceful border. Other than that...well, it's Israel! They just go with the flow, and whatever happens happens!
Onto better and brighter things...This past Saturday night I trekked out to Talpiyot, all the way on the other side of Jerusalem, because that is the ONLY place in the city that has a bowling alley. It was a friend's birthday, so we decided to schlep out! It was super fun, and in the same building as the alley they have go carts. My friend, who is from Paris, had never been go carting before, so naturally we went with her for her first time! I am proud to say that I came in first (shoutout to Eric! You taught me well).
That's pretty much it for now, I promise to update more frequently now that everything is becoming more of a routine!
Time to eat a Flake Bar (yup, they exist here fresh all year around, not just Passover!!) =D
