crazyyyyy
i'm, like, totally in israel
and it's, like, totally awesome
arrived after what seemed a million hours, but i'm at the university, unpacked in my room, safe and sound :) i've got my cell phone (and even though it costs $34608234208208 dollars a minute to talk, let me know if you want my digits). the room is pretty tiny, but the closet is pretty big so at least all my stuff is neatly put away. it's also pretty bare so i'm hoping to pick up some stuff to decorate it with asap. i had my first falafel (of the trip) for lunch, and shockingly, not that good. but apparently be'er sheva is the best place in israel to get falafel, so i'll try again soon.
when i received my school id (of course a pretty gross picture, but it's 90 something degrees so i guess i can't expect any better) i got a nice little present of a red (!!!) bgu blanket and little purse thing (i love that israeli guys carry purses. it adds so much to the hottness). i've tried talking in a little bit of hebrew, but it's SO hard, so hopefully as i get more assimilated, i'll get more used to talking. i understand most of what people say to me, i just can't really answer back.
15:26 = 3:26, right? and dinner is at 6... so maybe i'll go take a nap... :)
