I can say that in Hebrew!

I had an epiphany with several girls in class today. We all realized that we know WAY more Hebrew than we thought we did ... and there is a BUNCH that we can say. I'm getting pretty good at reading comprehension but I still have trouble with listening. I do OK when it gets slowed down a bit ... so many words in Hebrew sound alike and when someone talks a mile a minute they all kinda run together.

I think that a few of the girls from class and I are going to go to dinner tomorrow night at my favorite restaurant: Spagettim! Super stoked. And perhaps the Old City? There is some souvenir shopping that I want to do for people ... and I've been on campus for a week now and haven't actually ventured off of Mount Scopus. What's the point of living in the most amazing place if you don't actually go see it? I also want to explore outside of Jerusalem. There is NO WAY that I would drive around the city, but the rental car place is outside if I want to go up to the Galilee ... and I really want to go to Tel Aviv. I'm thinking chillin' at the beach. Sun, Mediterranean waves ... not really that interested in the CRAZY nightlife I keep hearing about (in Israel, it's the City that Never Sleeps. When asked "what do the young people do in Jerusalem for fun" the answer was "go to Tel Aviv." ha bloody ha). The thought of partying until 8am is not particularly appealing ... but the beach DEFINITELY is.

I don't REALLY want to go off on my own, however, so I'm on a quest to find people to go exploring with. *ponder*

Well, it's back to studying for me ... major test tomorrow.
