Thursday night and friday I stayed in bed...wasn't feeling top notch
Saturday I went to Richon and hung out with Omri there for a while
Today(sunday) I went to azriali mall with Elana
Today there are 3 weeks left on our program. I'm leaving Israel 2 weeks later. I'm exited to see all my friends and family, but I will miss Israel. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, 5 weeks is quite a while for a vacation. I think I've done most of what I wanted to do here. Some things even two or 3 times.

Yesterday I went to יד ושם yad vashem(halocaust museum) with my whole group...I can't even describe it. It was so well done. It was a difficult experience for everyone, but very much worth it.
Today I went on an Oranim trip to Jerusalem. We toured the old city, saw davids tomb, and the last supper table. And of course we went to the cotel. Second time for me. There was an underground tour of the tunnels available, but I was already not feeling well, and as the tour includes wading through waist deep water, I decided to skip it.

Jan 15-24
All last week we went to the army. We volunteered through a program called Sar-el שר-אל . We were on base Tel-hashomer, Bakum, which is the base all the new recruits first come through. We put together all the bags the new recruits get( underwear, socks, berets etc...) and on wednessday we got to give them out! We also made other bags for the soldiers with things like bamba( Israeli snack) beasley(same) and shower bags. We unfortunatly had to live in soldiers bunks( just the group thank g-d) and eat their food. Over all I think it was an awesome experience, and I'd totally do it again.
We got back thursday, and I just slept all day/night.
Friday, I did pretty much the same thing, add movies and corn fritters into the mix.
Today was a bit more interesting. I went to Rischon-Leszion to meet a friend and we went grocery shopping and out for israels national food: FALAFEL!( sooooooooooooo good here.) Then we went and hung out at his place for a bit, listened to some music(hebrew and english,) and eventually he drove me home.
Tomorrow I'm going to the Ramla shuk with my roommate, and then going to Bars place in the evening.
Oh btw, I made salad for dinner. I know this isn't very interesting, but it was really good, and I just wanted to assure you all I AM getting my veggies. ( I had crackers eggs and a pear, so the other food groups are covered too)

Yesterday I went to work, daycare, and successfully succeeded in comunicating with some of the kids. Score! I also applied to Grant Macewan University. If You remember right, a long while back I applied to the UofA. I hope I get in somewhere. If not, I guess I'll look into upgrading.
Today I cleaned Emilys and my room and bathroom, ordered pizza( in a mixture of hebrew and english) and watched tv. I'm going to my host family's house for shabbat dinner tonight. We're going to the army on sunday, so I probably won't be able to write untill at least next friday. Actually I know I won't. They told us not to bring computers because they wi.ll draw attention to us, and that is not a good thing.

Friday night I went to a pool hall in Beer Sheva with Bar and his friends
Saturday I was in Beer Sheva until about 8, when I caught the bus home. I did some hebrew homework, and we watched videos of the Israeli idol auditions, and just hung out around the house.
On Sunday(today) I went to school, and to the supermarket
I also thought about staying here vs. leaving, and I think I'm going to go back to Canada, for a little while at least. I'm still thinking of making alliyah, but its way to stressfull here... theres the whole time limit thing, theres the money thing, theres the problem of where I'm gonna live after the program. This could change, but right now I'm saying I'm coming home in march.

Jan 7th 8th
Yesterday we went on a day trip to Izrael valley. We went on 2 'hikes' and a long ass bus tour, It was really fun. Better than sitting in a classroom waiting for kids that may/ may not come. Pictures are on my shutterfly. I got my camera back from Eric and Sean last weekend!
Today I cleaned Emilys and my room and bathroom...then I went to Beer Sheva with Bars parents. I am here now. They're outside attempting to fix Bars car, and, I know nothing about cars, so I'm inside.
On the alliyah front, I wrote a letter to the RCMP requesting a letter of good standing/ criminal record check for the purpose of immigrating abroad. I still havn't actually figured out my plans, but I might as well have everything in order.

Jan 5th and 6th
Tuesday I went to school and Ulpan. Pretty uneventfull
Today I had nothing to do, so I did nothing. Almost.
I talked to the Hebrew University(Rothburg) and ruled that out as an opti0n,I emailed Gordon college(again) and I emailed the Canadian government to request a letter of good standing in Canada for alliyah.
Oh yah! yesterday I also made a balance sheet for myself(because thats what I do for fun in my free time) and I figured out I actually have no money. Actually less than none. Soo.... just a reminder....if anyone knows of any possible tutoring work, tell me!

Yesterday I went to school, then later I went to Tel Aviv to visit Eric and Sean. Eric missed our big christmas/ chanuka/ birthday bash, so they took me out for a late birthday dinner.
Today I had my meeting with a Nefesh B'nefesh pre-alliyah counsler. I heard about all the benefits, and I picked up an application. I also got an application for Ben Gurion university. Before university starts, there is a free 5 month Ulpan course at Haifa university. You can also live there for 5000NIS($1500) for the full 5 months! Food is included in the 'rent.'
PLEASE READ !!- !!קורה בבקשה
I need money, and as money doesnt fall out of the sky, I need work. English tutoring work. If anyone knows of english teaching work in Israel, let me know.
אני צריכה כםף. אז אני צריכה לעבוד. אם מישהו יודע עבודה בישראל, אמור לי בבקשה
