Random Tidbits

Sorry for the delay, internet has been down at Beit Nativ, so I have only been able to type during break at Hebrew U.

On this Sunday, I will be starting my 2nd class for the minimester which is a history of Jerusalem class taught by the great David Keren. He used to work for USY and has also been very involved with Nativ, so I have already met and know him and he is such a cool guy. Plus I hear nothing but praise about him as a teacher, so I am so very excited for that. I think next week we start to pick classes for the regular semester, and so far there are 2 classes that I am really interested in taking; Jewish Mysticism and Talmud as a Cultural Adventure. 

Yesterday, another program arrived. It is called Yearcourse and one of my best friends is on that so I saw him last night and I am so glad to be seeing him for the next three months while he is in Jerusalem. 

Monday/Tuesday have really just been very simple days. We have had class all day, get back and everyone takes a nap, and then some people go out and party, whereas some stay in and chill. I have done both, so it has been a good time. 

Random food stuff: The food at Beit Nativ sucks and I get that for breakfast and sometimes dinner, so I am always sooo excited for the food at Hebrew U for lunch which is delicious. 

Also, I went to this pizza place the other day, it is called Tomato and Cheese and it was possibly the best pizza I have ever had. Two nights ago I also had shwarma for the first time here. Most American's go to Moshiko's, however it is super overpriced, and not too great, whereas I went to this other place still on Ben Yehuda called Hamaroosh, SOO GOOD!!!!

Bad news: Today during lunch at Hebrew U, the people at my table all had laugh attacks based on one person starting to try and tell a story, but instead just laughing, and that spread to everyone. Eventually it got to me, but they didn't want me to stop, so I ended up laughing for 1 hour. People may not realize this, but laughing is quite quite tiring, and in that I decided to take a nap when I got back. That nap started at about 3:30. I woke up at 9:15, and in that I missed dinner and a very funny program for my track which was this person coming in and playing comedy games. While I have actually done everything that people have described to me, it still sounded like a great time.
