Mock Knesset

So apparently the world has chosen to make the days go by slowly starting now. Usually, this would be seen as a good thing (a only 14 days left take it all in type of thing). However, when it is your last week of school you just want it to be over with. We woke up to rainstorms this morning and it was extremely cold. In Hebrew we played guess who (in Hebrew) and reviewed for our test. Instead of regular Jewish History today we had a mock Knesset. We were divided into 6 parties and had to research platforms and give a presentation. I was a member of Shas, an ultra orthodox party, which no one on EIE agrees with, so during our presentation we were given a lot of angry questions. After our Knesset we had lunch and then regular classes. My econ. teacher wasn’t here again but instead of not having class, we had it over the phone. Normally, that would be challenging but we have slide shows of the information so it was easy to do over the phone. Then I went to the rest of my classes. When we went to the zula for announcements, we found out that we were having a speaker. A rabbi and representative came to talk to us about List College and how if we attended we could get a double degree (one from List and one from Columbia). He also talked about his Passover haggadah that he wrote and drew pictures for. Overall, the hour long presentation was not much fun. Afterwards, I went to my room to do homework. But in the process I also got distracted my both mikah and yael and called grammy and poppy to say happy anniversary. Now I am going back to studying for my Hebrew final (its tons of fun)
