Day 4

So I've been studying what feels like all day...

I had breakfast with Maureen at Brasserie this morning and it was wonderful to catch up with her and hear all about the work she's doing at TAU.

Back home to study briefly, then to class.

The three hours passed so quickly, and I even had to write a speech about myself. I was given 30 minutes to write, and sadly Ran wasn't aware that my writing skills were quite strong, and I wrote a ton. I teased him "ani kotevet c'mo ani medaberet...harbe" I write like I speak, a lot... :)

It turns out, I have to present this speech to all of the students tomorrow!! At graduation!

I headed to the shuk to grab a beach blanket, and was able to practice a bit of my Hebrew. I ended up home, and then decided to venture out to find the yoga studio. Another failed attempt. I really felt like the world was out to get me. I kept walking back and forth, looking for the damn 32 Rothschild Blvd, and finally went into number 38 and asked the security guard. I tried in my Hebrew (I'm getting to that point where I can almost express myself but am just a few days short of really feeling confident) and he looked confused, and suggested I walk up the street (where the numbers go up not down) and I finally gave up, realizing the address was an abandoned lot. I headed home fuming, and decided I would be best off just studying. I finally re-checked the yoga studio's website, turns out, they moved. It's about 2 blocks from where I was walking. I guess I've finally figured it out, and maybe will even give it a shot tomorrow. We shall see... I got home and bashed my finger in the door, the middle finger of my right hand is turning bluer by the minute... So much for natural nails, going to have to go red again until this sucker grows out... Why am I so scrappy over here? All bruised, burned, and bitten?

Made an easy dinner and started studying. That's pretty much been my evening, studded with a few phone conversations with great friends. I'm hoping to wow them with my Hebrew tomorrow. Hopefully I will present first so I won't have to feel like an utter idiot following the advanced students...

Nighty night!!
