| Sea of Galilee |
I know it has been a
long time since I have posted anything here. My life is so full that something
had to give. If I have the choice between going dancing or writing a blog, of
course I would go dancing.
So this past spring
flew by and now summer is in full swing. Some people want to know what a
typical day is like for me here. Well, really no day is typical. It might make
more sense to describe a normal week. These past few months I have had a full
day of classes at the university on Sundays. Then on Sunday evening I go to Hebrew class in downtown Tel Aviv at Gordan Ulpan for 2.5 hours.
Mondays I work on assignments, run errands, do laundry, etc. Then Monday night
I go to rikudei am (folk dancing) at the university sports center. Tuesdays I
work at Ruppin Academic Center, teaching classes in the morning and tutoring in
the afternoon and evening. I get done at 7:30 PM and then get home around 9:30 PM.
Wednesdays are like Sundays--classes all day and then Ulpan at night. Thursdays
are like Tuesdays--work at Ruppin. But on Thursdays I get home in the afternoon
and then go dancing at the sports center till 1:30 AM. Fridays I sleep, do
laundry, grocery shopping, etc. and sometimes go to Rav Shaye's house in the
evening for Shabbat dinner. During Shabbat I rest, go to synagogue, hang out in
the park, etc.
Anyway, classes at
the university have just ended and Ruppin and Ulpan will end soon, too. So none
of what I described above will be typical in about a week from now. Then I will
be going on some new adventures that I will write about later.
My favorite thing is traveling around Israel. I have posted some pictures from my travels below.

This is just right across the street from where I live, but I had to throw it in. It is Tel Aviv University where I am getting my MA TESOL degree. It is a beautiful place to go to school.
