Good news, tasty treats, exercise and years of lies

This morning was a regular wake up. During Hebrew we took a test and then learned the infinitive tense. One of the other classes made chocolate balls and brought them to everyone, which was nice. Especially b/c I love chocolate balls! They were always my favorite thing to make at camp. Then I went to Jewish history and we learned about the Maccabees and Hanukkah. I learned that the oil story is not the real reason we celebrate Hanukkah and that for 16 years I have been lied to! Then during my lunch period, after I ate and did my Hebrew homework, I went to go talk to our assistant principal, David Solomon, about my econ. Issue. He offered to teach me everything my teacher wont be able to and starting Sunday I meet with him twice a week during my free period (6th). Then I went about my regular classes, free period, and dinner. At announcements we learned that next weekend we are going to stay with the Israeli teens (so of course Yael and I are excited to stay with Shiri again!). We also were told our schedule for this weekend (I wont have my computer b/c we are going to Masada). After announcements I borrowed Hadas’s (one of our counselors) jump rope. I was really excited to actually do a little bit of exercise on the Kibbutz. So for about a half hour I jumped rope and did some jumping jacks. Then I went back to do doing homework and such. Now I still have to finish an English essay and do some SAT2 studying! So much to do and soooo little time!
