happy tuesday.

I'm sitting in the Zula (i'd translate that for you, but i don't think it means anything..just sounds good) trying to upload pictures for all you freaky followers (ALL TWENTY THREE OF YOU..who by the way, are crazy because my life is not all that interesting to follow) 

We spent traipsing through the Jewish quarter in Jerusalem today, which was really cool. We saw the City of David and ate Shwarma and ice cream and it was all in all delicious. The only bad part was the hail and rain which I could've sworn was going to give us all hypothermia. It's freaking freezing. I think I'm getting a cold. All of my friends were sick a week ago and I was lucky until this morning. Meredith and I shared a chocolate cake at 9 30 in the  morning, pre-tiyul. It was awesome. On the busride there, Sam taught me body parts in hebrew (this sounds silly, but i'm finally starting to learn basic vocabulary). Did I mention that i love Hebrew? I've never wanted to learn something more. You should see me during class-I'm always going "ech-um'rim..." (how do you say) and scribbling in my notebook nonstop.

I learned colors two days ago, and tried teaching myself the fruits. 

I'm so excited to get better at it-I think I might move up a class, I'm not sure. 

What else?

I'm cold and distracted by it. 

My new friend Molly is sitting next to me. She wants you all to know that she's "ill". But not sick. for the record. 

I feel like I have nothing to say today. Today was really really really enjoyable. I love it here, I think. I'm getting used to it-officially. I have a solid group of really great friends-I've found my crew, and always have someone to sit  with or tell stupid jokes to. It's comforting to have someone in my time zone to call when I need to vent. 

i actually have nothing to say right now.

I'm posting photos on flickr because facebook is being tempermental. 

i'll post the link soon.

au revoir.
