I forgot to talk about the holidays. I had so much fun. I went to my friend’s aunt’s house. I love them. It reminded me of my house. I also went to two different types of temples. One was just like KBI in the sense I knew the tones and then we went to a Moroccan one. It was so cool. I really liked it. Yom Kippur is around the corner and I can’t wait to spend it in Israel. I heard it is one of the coolest things ever. My whole apt and mostly everyone else is staying in Bat Yam. I am going to make a big dinner and invite people to come and then for the break I am going to try and find a bagel shop (ahahahahah…yeah right). Lashana Tova!!!!

The Holidays!

These past two weeks I have been having so much fun. From Rosh Hashanah or to just hanging with my roommates and friends the times have been great. My schedule is pretty normal now. On Sundays and Wednesdays I have sports stuff and then class and then sports volunteering. Mondays and Thursdays I have volunteering, I work at a special needs school and love it, then I has ulpan and then nothing. Tuesdays are the days that we go on a special trip. The first one we went to an opera house. I liked it. This time we went to a museum for the blind. It was one of the coolest things I have ever done. I would go back in a second. Friday and Saturdays are free. I am planning a trip to Eilat and I want to travel. The tzofim are planning a rafting trip on the 8th and I am sooo excited I can’t wait. I am having the best time and love it here. I have been here for a month and can’t wait for what the next 8 months have in store.
Call me!!

Second Week!!!!

This week was one of the best weeks ever. We started volunteering and we also started some sports stuff. One day we woke up and got on a bus. We then walked about 2 min to the ocean in Bat Yam. We then worked out on the beach. We each had trampoline and we had an instructor who taught a class. It was one of the best workouts ever. I love it here. I have made so many friends. This weekend people from Arad came up and we all just hung out and went to the beach. It was so much fun. Classes and normal life start tomorrow. I can’t wait.

Time of my life :)

Two nights ago the sports track went to a soccer game. It was so much fun. We sat next to these little boys and they started to hit on me. They were 11. It was so funny. All of the boys on the track were like those boys are trying to move in on our girls.
Today was the first day of volunteering. It was so much fun. I am working in a special needs school. It was cool because once we got there we were put into a class and got to work with the kids. They don’t know English and I only know very little Hebrew so it’s cool because as they learn more Hebrew I learn too and I also get to practice the Hebrew I know and the Hebrew that I am going to learn. After that I went to the mall and got kosher MacDonald’s (Yummy) and got my nose pierced (ahahaha jk), and then I went to the gym that the sports track has membership too. It’s really nice. Tonight my apt and the boys apt that is near us are going to the hookah bar. I am having the time of my life.

The First Week

I am having a great time. I have made great friends and met awesome people. The apt is ok. We don’t have air conditioning and the internet doesn’t work. Otherwise everything is great. We went to the mall and met this woman who was so cute. She wants us to teach her English and hopefully she will teach us Hebrew. The super market was a fun place to go. I can’t wait to go back.
Please call me. I miss everyone and I love yall.
By the way I am like one of few southern people so whenever I say yall everyone makes fun of me it’s funny. Classes start Monday. Can’t wait.
See you in 9 months!
