Today I woke up at 8. I really, really didnt want to get out of bed and was exhausted thinking about all the excuses i could use to not go to volunteering. Eventually I did get out of bed and we got to school in the middle of a period. We waited for that period to be over and then during the 20 minute break, a teacher asked us to help him cut out hall passes. Pamela saw us doing this and was not too happy with him. We then waited for Pamela while she spoke to different volunteers (israelis) and then we (ashley) spoke to her saying how we are still not doing enough. Pamela knows and even wrote on a paper that teachers read that we arent doing enough. Pamela vented to us for a little and told us how the teachers are threatened by us because our english might be a little better than theirs.

We then went to Pamela's class and since the students who went to poland were in school, Ashley and i took 2 out at a time and we spoke together as a group about their experience. It was really interesting to hear them because they are so open about their feelings. The next period Pamela wanted everyone to stay in the class and so she told us to go ask another teacher. The other teacher is nice and she let us. This time we split up. It is funny how all of the students beg to have us take them out. i feel so special! haha. Besides talking about poland (because not all of them went) we talked about the army and other things including what bars we go to, etc. When we were leaving a kid walked up to me and asked if we can go into his class tomorrow! Students are saying hi to me in the hall!

I was going to go to burger's bar (i STILL have not gone there!) but i was going to meet up with leah, but she had something at 1:30 and she would've been pushing it. Instead i had chicken soup (2 bowls) and then i showered. I hung out with katie for a bit (note to self: changing profile picture and sending friend requests! ahhahahha) and watched gossip girl. Julia ended up buying the season on itunes, so i no longer have to wait forever and skip some parts! woo hoo! go julia! I then took a ridiculously long nap. I needed it. It was so nice that i didnt have shevet today (because we did it yesterday). When I woke up (after having very weird dreams) I had shnitzel, veggies, hummus, and soup for dinner. Then after talking to mom and erez I had a great dessert with naomi. We took out sprinkles, chocolate spread, and peanut butter. On a plate we had banana, pretzels, and chocolate crackers. yummm. After dessert I talked with some family and skyped with soph the parentals and the pooch. I got a little teary eyed when i saw the pooch...

I then said bye to everyone, finished watching 27 dresses and watched some of freedom writers. I wasnt sure if rach was going to come home tonight, but she surprised me and did! yay :) It is only 12:15 and im gonna go to bed. i cannot believe my mom and bubbe are coming tomorrow! I talked to my mom like an hour before she was going to the airport! Cant wait for the trashy magazines. I had my mom stock up on them because in israel they are SO expensive!
