I went to Jail today...
This morning we had a tiyul to Jail. I know that sounds scary but actually it is a museum that was a jail during the big waves of Aliyah and the War of Independence. We learned about prison life and Arab Jew conflicts that took place during the time b/c of wanting to make Palestine a Jewish state. We also learned about different resistance groups. I also used my new camera for the first time! (woohoo!) After being prisoners all morning we went back to Tzuba for general studies. They were nothing special. Then we had dinner and announcements and contrary to popular belief no SAT prep. So I had all night to do homework. But I talked to Rachel on fb chat for a long while, put pictures on facebook, typed up an English essay, did math, and did some econ. So I guess I accomplished something. I also unpacked the rest of my stuff. Today I also made pink applesauce. I bought applesauce from the market and using the red hots grammy brought me and her directions made myself pink applesauce so that I can have a little touch of home for the holiday. ☺
