This week was a blur. For real I have no recollection of anything I did. Which means it was pretty uneventful. One day I went to the pool. Had a quiz. Sorry I cant get mroe specific but that might explain why I havent updated in a while.
One night we went to Herziliyah and a freind's friend's freinds had a barbq..thats israel for you - everyone is your friend! they were interesting and canadians/americans either in the army or studying at IDC - another israeli university. it was fun to talk about our experience here and play jewish geogrpahy - had a couple mutual friends! also i tried a chicken heart..gross
Ben came back in town this weekend which was great to catch up. We went to Rachel and Shimy's for dinner again on Fri night and Rachel made him a birthday cake! Their family is so cute and everyone eruipted during dinner - arguing in Hebrew! Thats an Israeli family for u - they just scream and yell at eachother and then they hug and its all over. haha.
On Sat we went out to celebrate. We were hanging out in a park near Ibn Burell St and a couple improv performers came by handling out flyers. They came over to talk to us and I guess their show is a form of the Odyssey performed in gibberish Italian. They were hilarious and were messing with all of our belongings. They were dropping things just like out of a 3 stooges movie - but it was right in front of us live so it was really funy! Itd be interested in going to their show bvut I'm pretty sure its actually in Italian. We also found a bar to celebrate Ben's bday in - some couple was having their engagement party there! The DJ wound up buying us hummus at the end of the night too and then drove us home. Perfect! haha
Wow life sounds pretty boring right? I def feel like I'm LIVING in Israel. I never have really that funny of stories cuz I never feel out of place. I feel right at home and accepted. Its a really good feeling :) It just feels so normal walking down the street and exploring different areas. Even though I'm curious and in wonder of lots of things: Tel Aviv realy feels super normal. Visiting the Azreli (3 buildings in diff shapes wiht a big mall in teh center) and seeing all the people dressed up in army uniforms - just feels normal. Alot of people come to Israel to find themsevles. They like coming here cuz it helps you chill out..no one cares what you do for a living! I just realize that I'm not at that point in my life right now. I want to work and find a career! So i feel alittle out of place with some of the Americans who made aaliyah to just do somethign with their lives. But I respec thteir deciison and am happy people are here. Its just not my home right now but maybe I'll need that opportunity come later. I'm def realizing alot about myself.
