i've officially started classes... well, the one class... mmm, Hebrew 3 hours a day... yum... i'm in class 8:30 - 12:30 Sunday - Thursday with a half hour break 10:30-11:00... it's not too shabby especially since my professor is super awesome... i'm actually learning... at least i think i am... it could just be that since i don't have any other classes to worry about at the moment i'm not letting hebrew take the backseat to everything else and my life currently revolves around it... after class i come home (haha, i called my silly little apartment home) (it *is* nice though) and make some lunch (today was instant couscous!) (don't judge me - it was a dollar at the dorm's supermarket and i wasn't up for making something real)... after lunch i whip out the homework and get to work... after homework i take a nap... after my nap i get to work studying all those words i wrote down during the 3 hours of class... today i wrote down 64 new words/verbs... i haven't yet learned them all, but when i get back from this bbq tonight i'll get to work learning the rest... i knew that the whole study abroad thing in israel was exactly what i needed to *actually* learn hebrew... it might also help that hebrew is the only thing i hear... some people speak english, but it's rare to hear people conversing in it... most people only speak english when they realize we can't speak hebrew (yet)

i'm off to the bbq...
