Ulpan
Mood:  mischievious
I know that I haven't posted in a while, but it's just that I've been really busy lately!!!!
We started Ulpan yesterday, which is the hebrew immersion summer program that we are doing. Yes, in Israel Sunday is the first day of the week and friday and saturday are the weekend. Basically, from 8:30 in the morning until 1:00 in the afternoon we are in class learning and speaking hebrew. It's challenging but it's really helpful with my spoken hebrew. And my class is fun and funny and advanced enough (I placed in the 4th out of 6 levels... 6 being the highest) that I feel I will learn a great deal in the coming weeks.
Yesterday, I went to the mall with some friends and bought two cute skirts and a fun tank top...it was really cheap too!
My weekend waas nice...we were forced to go to shabbat services at HUC but they ended up being really nice. Friday night we had dinner in the academic courtyard and then all went to a party at my friend Josh's house for his birthday. Too much fun!!!!
Saturday I went to services in the morning, then had the opportunity to speak with a women about my first trip to Israel b/c she was from the Birthright Israel foundation (who sponsored my trip). THen me and Leah and Adam and Noah all went back to their house and ate lunch and slept all day. IT was a realxing shabbat day.
Other than that, not much else is new. I'm working hard to get my computer up and running again (cross your fingers) and so hopefully that will happen soon and I can upload all my pictures and you can have a better sense of what my life is like here.
Okay, I only have about 10 minutes left of my break before I need to return to class. Happy Monday everyone!!!!!
