Some philosophical musings

So I haven't updated in a week. Well here you go. Last Wednesday (the 24th of February) was a very sad day in my life. Starting Wednesday continuing through today, there has been a lot of wind, rain, and cold in Tel Aviv. So before going to work Wednesday morning, I went to get my brand new windbreaker/rain jacket. However, it was no where to be found. I was soo upset, because I know I didn't lose it. I only got to wear it once during the first week of my trip, and its been in my closet since. So I guess I have to finally go to the mall here to look for a new jacket. At least it gives me an excuse to go to the shopping center here, especially since I live only a 5 minute walk away.

Fuck. Canada just scored. (Yes...I'm watching the gold medal game now).

This weekend was Purim. Pretty much just like Halloween. Except kids get 2 days off from school. There have been parties every night since Wednesday night, and people go all out on costumes. But like I said, it was cold and rainy all weekend, so that definitely put a damper on the celebrations.

So for some philosophical musings (happy Evan??). When it rains, the streets turn into rivers. And since there are a few hills in Tel Aviv, the water rushes down the streets very fast. So this leads me to believe that there isn't much of a sewer system here. Very philosophical.

Work has been going well. The past few days have been slow, as it has just been me and the secretary in the office, which is cool, because we've been listening to music, talking about random things, trying to avoid work (especially since I wasn't left any work to do). It will be nice to go in tomorrow and have the boss there again.

My hebrew is definitely not improving as fast as I had hoped. Having Ulpan twice a week is really not helpful, especially since they've cancelled one class each for this week and last week. It would really be helpful if I was hanging out with someone who was fluent and she would help me learn so I would be able to communicate in two languages....cough hint cough...

Fuck another Canada goal. (Break in writing). GO AMERICA! USA SCORES!

Ok enough musings for today. I'm gonna go watch the rest of the game. Hopefully I won't get lazy and wait a week for another update...but no promises!
