Quick update

I am writing this now in Hebrew class. We just finished our midterm (or at least I did) and this was the last of three installments of it. We again have this double hebrew/no j-hist nonsense and it sort of upsets me. We had to pack up last night because we are moving out today. We are to stay with a family (each of us with a different family, or if you are nice you might bring a friend or two along) for two nights and then we will go on yam l'yam (sea to sea hike). Yesterday, I had my first infusion for Crohn's disease in Israel. It was a very different experience from the two other experiences that I am used to (Stamford and Greenwich hospitals). The Isrealis who were in the infusion center did not know each other but yet started bickering about politics and this last military conflict (everyone has their own opinions of what to call it). It was really very intriguing. Becasue of the poor planning of that appointment, I missed the j-hist exam that was yesterday. I therefore had to make it up sometime after dinner yesterday. After dinner was packing though, so it was a whole balagan. On top of all that, I am on toranut (duty). This means that I am supposed to clean the office, zula (our hangout room thing, student lounge), and the classrooms. I only got to clean the classrooms that we packed our stuff into (we put all of our stuff in classrooms when we move out and then lock it up). I had to take the test at some point and did, but it was very hard to do from 9:30 to 10:30...my brain had already begun its shutdown sequence.

In other news, I have added Hebrew University in Jerusalem to my college list. That's about it. I hope you all have a chag sameach, and sorry for jumping around a lot and being hard to follow this time.
