Today i didnt wake up until after 1. I talked with boaz for a little and then helped make a big israeli salad for shabbat dinner. For shabbat dinner, our entire section is making food and eating together. After we made the salad, we got ready to go. We had to be there by 3:15. When we got there we got in a circle and sang some songs outside and then lit for the first night of chanukah and shabbat. Then we davined outside. After this we went inside and had dinner. I was really nervous i wouldnt get food because i hate pushing for food i usually wait until everyone gets. Luckily there was still food!! It was a good dinner. After dinner, which ended at like 7, and playing a stupid little game that didnt work because the brits wouldnt shut up, we went apartment hopping. It was nice to see other people's apartments. We eventually made it back here and chilled. I talked with boaz for a little and we might be able to see each other sunday! After everyone left we read and i finished my book (eat, pray, love). It was so good. Im upset because now i have to find another book to read. ughh i hate this process. After reading we all just were on our computers. i was trying to talk to steph, but the internet isnt good anymore. The good connecter (daria) put a lock on it today, probably because we were making their internet go slow from using it all the time. there is a "year course" one, but that is also locked. we told year course people, hopefully they will give us the password. Rach and i watched "Ghosts of a Girlfriends Past," but after the movie we werent tired but just kept on laughing. We then decided at 1:30 in the morning to prepare the chicken we would be cooking tomorrow for lunch. i crushed garlic and cut potatoes. I even touched the raw meat and stuffed it with the potatoes and stuff! Rach and i were joking about how this is the only thing i will cook for my family (because it isnt hard to make, surprisingly!)

i forgot to mention that during dinner it rained a bit and has been thundering and lightening.
