New experiences

This morning there was no set time for wake up. We just had to be in a classroom by 8:30 for a 5-hour study hall. I woke up at 7:45 and by 8:30 was sitting in the library b/c it was the quiet room and I wanted to be able to work without distractions. The first hour I did a U.S. history SAT2 practice test. Then I did my physics and started my Jewish History essay. I got about half of the essay done and then I couldn’t deal with sitting there doing homework anymore. So I packed, ate lunch, cleaned my room, and my roommate Leah straighten my hair. At around 2 we got on the bus and head for our host families up north. We got off at a bus stop near Mor’s house at around 3:30. When we got to her house we relaxed for a few minutes and then walked to a market so that Yael could go to an ATM and get some snacks for the weekend. Then we went back to her house and just hung out until we went to dinner with her and her mom. For dinner we went to an oriental (Arabic) restaurant. It was pretty good, we just had to be a little careful cause we weren’t exactly sure what we were eating( we shared a grilled meat plate that had kabob, chicken, chicken heart and liver (we avoided the chicken heart and liver). When we got back to Mor’s house her and her mom wanted me to sing for them so I sang one or two songs. Then we relaxed for a bit. Then the taxi came to take us to our Israeli teen experience. It was interesting. Now we are back at Mor’s house and are watching the Last Song and going to bed. ☺
