Yesturday we went on a Tzdukah Teul to pick fruits for the people under the bread line as they caled it. After we stopped at Rahaov for lunch. After walking aroun a bit I found this Falafel place. I decided to get one. It was huge. It came with Chipim and humus and israeli salad. It was so good. Also I realized that the pop has real rugar in it so I couldn't pass on up. Overal it was a pretty good day. Today is Thursday and its the first day of our classes. We had to get up at 6:30 to go to breakfast and get to the Zoola (lounge) for our hebrew placement. I ended up in the second highest group along with two other kids from Chlutzim. We have hebrew everyday for 2 hours, which makes up the the 2 day a week english. We just spoke today and tried to get used to speaking in hebrew. Jewish History was next and nobody realizd how long this was. For the 3 hours we spent in JH all we did was get to know each other and have Amy (the teacher) tell us what the class is going to be like and what we would cover. Also yet another teacher of mine that does not like homework. It is so awsome all but 2 of my 6 teachers do not beleave or like homework. We got our General Studies class schedual:
Period 1: English (Sunday and Monday)
Period 2: Free (Lunch)
Period 3: Free
Period 4: Biology
Period 5: Algebra 2
Period 6: Economics
I couldn't beleave how much free time I had because I have no free time at New Trier. I had no idea what to do with it all. I found some people playing Frisbee so I joined in for a little bit until class started. In English class we discovered that we won't have to read an novels over this entire trip. I was so excited! We ended our class by getting a short survey about ourselves. So far it was an easy day. I left for lunch and some nice potato soup and humus. After my Free periods I had Biology which was extremley easy. All we did was talk about nothing and the period ended. In math we sarted right away to see what we had just learned. We did a worksheet and we got some actual work done. Nobody had taken Economics before so we started at the very begginng, which was a very good place to start. We discovered our teacher will give us more then 2 two to do each 20 minute homwork assignment. It rocked! We had diiner which was the first non meat meal of pasta. Dinner ended and we headed for services and Odaot (anouncments). We had some free time of which we playd a mini game of football and decided to go to bed for th nught. I'll end this Blog here and right a new one after Shabbot at the Kotel.
Bye.
