Yeah, OK. It's been over a month since I wrote anything here, so I apologize to those of you who have nothing better to do when you're bored than read my ridiculous updates...
In any case. I won't bore you with a recap of the last 6 weeks of my life. Suffice it to say that I was here, I was home, I was in Boston, I've been back here for two weeks...now you're pretty much up to date.
So here I am in Jerusalem on a lovely Friday morning. My flatmates are all skipping town for Shabbat...Zoe is off to the Negev with the Conservative Yeshiva crew, Jaimee and Helayne are escaping to the beach in Tel Aviv (yes, it's supposed to be warm enough to go to the beach this weekend - I knew the middle east had benefits). I'll be here, enjoying some "me" time and hopefully finishing up some of the schoolwork that's still hanging over my head (don't ask, it's not a pretty story...)
I'm keeping busy during the week, spending three mornings a week at Ulpan (my Hebrew has improved dramatically...but I'm still struggling with conversations that last more than a few sentences...) and some afternoons as an intern in the NFTY office. In a week and a half, 50 parents are coming to check that EIE is treating their kids well and I'll be "chaperoning" them around the country...mostly smiling and trying to keep them happy. Hey, at least they're paying me.
I guess that's about it for now. I promise updates on a more regular basis from now on!
