beach season impending

Took our first test at 1130 - -pretty easy for our class.

after we decided to hit the beach since it was sooo nice out - sunny!
my friend ben from the army got off for the weekend and came to meet a group of us at dinner. he said itd been forever since he hung out in a group of americans and came in his full uniform with gun because he gets free transportation that way. everyone was asking him questions about the army. he just got off a 23 mile hike that he did in full gear in 6 hours! such a crazy lifestyle

this weekend were heading up north for a night to atv/repel i guess its kinda a shabbaton hosted by this guy jeff seidel (jeff seidel.com) - he tries and makes u more religious and word is hes alittle creepy but i like the idea of a super cheap trip and he provides the full lodging, food, etc etc - were gonan try and sneak around on saturday to hike around the golan. 50 people each are goin from Tel aviv U, hebrew U and ben gurion - so itll b great to meet some cool new people!

i kinda wanna convince jeff to do a trip to hungary! he did one to prague last semester!

not feelin so good..passin out some align to people - hope it works.
wake up at 6 am for trip tomorow!
lila tov!

  1. Wow, reading how settled in your are makes it sound like you've been there a few months rather than a few weeks. I really admire how flexible you are about things, whether it be the cleanliness of your dorm or the lack of food choices or dealing with different (occasionally creepy) new people. We all miss you here but are having a great time sharing your journeys via this blog. It's sunny and warm, like ridiculously warm, here this week and I'm going to think about your friend, Ben, with full gear, hiking 23 miles as I attempt to go 1/2 mile on the treadmill tomorrow. Be happy, I'll look forward to your updates!
