...and I don't know how I ever did it in high school. Over four hours of Ulpan, with 2 short breaks, and I was KO'ed for like 3 hours after. It's so much Hebrew in such a short time, it's exhausting but it's also good because I need to learn Hebrew while I'm here. We covered a lot of stuff and I still have homework to get to, it's intense. The teachers don't speak English, they just point to things and use drawings and props to show what they're talking about. You really have to pay attention to keep up, which could be a problem when we start waking up at 8 am for class.
I have yet to go shopping for food, but I've gotten by so far. That and the gym membership are goals for tomorrow. Last night I went to the student center to watch the Jets game (and got free Chinese food and drinks!), the weather was too crappy (ok, it was only raining...) to go out. Tonight there's basketball from 8-10, salsa lessons around 9:30, and a party after. Seems like there's always gonna be a ton of organized stuff going on, which is good. Still meeting tons of people each day, but Ul-pan today was nice because the classes are small (less than 20 students) so there's some consistency. I'm still trying to find my feet, it's been a whirlwind but a fun one. Gonna go grab dinner and I need to catch up on 24 still so nobody say anything!
