Welcome to my blog

Hey everybody. For those of you who don't know, I just moved to Tel Aviv for a 5 month internship program. I am living in a longterm hotel right on the beach. Although the rooms are tiny, its filled with program participants, so its basically like living in a the dorms. My roommate is a kid from Boston named Aaron, and its going real well. Unfortunately, they didn't have all the rooms ready (some participants are leaving this week from a prior program) so about 7 rooms in our group are in temporary rooms until Sunday. So that sucks, since we can't unpack yet. So far the past two days have been just orientation-type meetings. But that hasn't stopped us from going out exploring. Last night we reached out to our international roots by going to an English pup (to the delight of one of the girls who is from Leeds, England). So far the hardest adjustment (besides Hebrew) has been the currency. First, the bills don't fit in my Jcrew "magic" wallet (damn you Jenna!). And second, I hate carrying around soo many coins. Its just so annoying, especially since they have so many different coins with different values. But other than that, things are good. I adjusted perfectly to the time change, and have even bought turkey, cheese, bread, and mayo from the grocery store for lunches. And on that note, I am hungry, so if you could, Mom, can you make me a sandwich?
