Yesterday Moran and I woke up at 1:30ish! I couldnt believe i slept for so long! By the time we got out of bed and got dressed, when we went downstairs, they were about to have lunch. Living with Americans, i forget that most israelis have huge lunches and smaller dinners. For lunch we had soup, salmon, potatoes, and some other small things. Once again, it was so good! Maybe drora will teach me how to cook somethings. After lunch moran and i went upstairs for a little and then after digesting and not being stuffed, shlomo took me, moran, nadiv, and ido out for ice cream. I got a mix of chocolate banana and cookies. so good. how come america doesnt have this good of ice cream?! It was funny because moran ordered for me and after she got her ice cream, instead of saying "todah" she said "thank you"!!!! hahaha.

On the car ride back from ice cream, ido took out his ipod shuffle and let me listen with him. All of the songs were american hip hop/rap. I was familiar with the songs but he knew all of the words! When we got back moran and i went onto our computers and we were on for SO long. I talked to a lot of people, once again, and we just updated each other. This time it was mostly people in israel. Oh, i forgot to mention that i got a call from erez telling me that he was going to be going to the idan raichel and i was too!!! i was so excited because i havent seen erez yet! I talked to miki and her, nathan, and yoni were also going to go (along with many others from section 2)!!!

After moran and i coudnt stand being on the computers and needed a break, we went downstairs and watched "the bachelor." I do not recommend it...during the movie we had dinner. but as i said before, israeli dinners are light and casual. I had cheese with cucumbers in a pita and yogurt with chocolate things it comes with. It is similar to the yogurts that have the sprinkles that come with it. After the movie i got my stuff (including all of the laundry drora did for me) and left with shlomo. moran was supposed to come but she forgot that she had to be at school at 8 the next morning. she felt really bad, but i was completely fine! I gave moran some music, but we still have to finish going through my songs. I have so many from people from year course. anyways, drora also gave me some soup things (they are yellow squares, i forget what they are called) and another yogurt!

The drive home with shlomo was nice. We talked a bit about sports and how there is so much more than what you see if you arent paying attention. We also talked about how i am interested in phycology and how he was also interested in it, but then lost his interest. He explained to me why, and how he became really interested in sociology. He also taught me a way to know if it is the beginning or the end of the month by looking at the moon. When the moon looks like a zion, it is the end, and when it looks like a gimel, it is the beginning. There are hebrew words that correspond with the letters that makes sense. He also talked about how i will know if i am in an arab village. He remembers the horrible smell when he was in the army and if he smelled he knew he was by an arab village. The horrible smell is manure. arab villages are eco-friendly (not sure if it is intentional), but burn the manure for energy. He said that it is horrible in the winter when they use it to heat up their homes. gross! After saying bye to shlomo, i got back to the apartment and caught up with people in my apartment. I missed them and it was weird not spending shabbas with them!!

note to self: someone wanting me to go out/meet up, rachel and underwear, "hot ass"
