Sorry I don't have more exciting things to say but we are just hanging out today. We tried to go into town but nothing was open so we just stopped at a convenience store for some water and snacks (Matt and Allie, i got those things that we ate a lot that are like wafer tubes with chocolate in the middle!). These lazy Saturdays will be really nice I think once we are busy all week and get used to this more calm lifestyle. It does feel pretty good though to have absolutely nothing that I need to be doing.
Other than the store, the main event of the day has been putting my things away in my room. They were not kidding about limited space. One (large) suitcase and a half packed gym bag's worth of clothes didn't even fit. I had to keep all of the cold weather stuff in the suitcase under the bed. My roommate is from Montville, NJ. She was to be a Rabbi but her Hebrew is not good enough to go right to Rabbinic school yet. So she'll learn here and then go back home to go to school. We are supposed to get another one so i guess we will meet her tomorrow.
It's been interesting to get to know the other people at the Ulpan. Everyone is here for really different reasons and comes from really different backgrounds. Most people are from the US but some from other places (France, Holland, Brazil so far) and most people are staying here after this. I can't believe that the number of people is going to double tomorrow.
I'll try to take some pictures soon so you can see what it looks like here.
I love those things! I remember them being quite tasty..how's the weather there this time of year? Oh, and can you send us your address so we can mail you?
