Can you believe it, but, it is now snowing is Jerusalem?! So I just got back from going outside to play in the “snow” (and by snow I mean a very chilly mix of rain and a few snowflakes that makes the ground wet and will not accumulate and yet we may not have school tomorrow) Anyways, my crazy Israeli roommates were so excited about it, they kept running and talking pictures and saying things like “zeh magniv”. We took a bunch of cute pictures so I will post as soon as I can. In other news, the Rothberg (Hebrew University’s International school) informed us that we should go shopping before the snow so Rotem (my roommate) and I took a trip to the Mister Zol (Mister Cheap, supermarket). It was actually really good to go with her, she helped me to get a lot of yummy food that I would not have known to get without her and when we got home from the supermarket I cooked my own dinner. I made pasta with sauce and I made sauce the way Jason (I love you so much, baby!) always makes with some of my own ingredients :) ! Right now I am just finishing up my homework for the day in Ulpan. All my homework consists of grammar, which it turns out it easy for me (who knew?, but I’d like to publicly thank Marc Brettler for kicking my butt in Bib Heb and teaching me all this crazy grammar stuff). So Ulpan level gimmel is pretty easy for me when it comes to grammar but is a pretty difficult challenge when it comes to vocab, I miss about every 10th word said by somebody in class and I am constantly asking the girl next to me what words mean, but I think I am going to start to make a sheet of new words that I learn everyday, I’m hoping that will help me, however this is a daunting task because I believe that between 5 hours of Ulpan class and 4 pages of homework I have probably learned over 100 new words today.
Anyways I should get back to the homework because when I am done Rotem and I are going to watch the movie of “Singing in the Rain” in Hebrew without subtitles, which should be a really interesting experience. (Thankfully Rotem also loves movies and musicals, I may have found my Israeli soul mate, heheJ) Speaking of musicals, as I went to choose music to play while doing homework I was drawn to Thoroughly Modern Millie and as I listened it reminded of what a great time we all had together last spring, so everyone in Mattress have so much fun, you don’t know how much I miss being in rehearsal and just being around theater people in general!
Please Please Please PLEASE feel free to email, facebook, or comment here, I want to talk to everyone but I just don’t have working internet yet.
B’ahavah,
Adra
