Day 2 of classes

Today was the first day of two more classes: Hebrew and Talmud as a Cultural Adventure.  Hebrew was a lot of fun. I have a lot of friends in my class, and we spent the whole time making collages about ourselves by cutting stuff out of newspapers.  The teacher, named Gila, is very nice.  It is going to be a little bit difficult at the beginning because we are not allowed to speak any English in the classroom, but once I get used to it and improve my Hebrew, everything will be good.  Talmud was also pretty great.  The teacher is really nice and smart, and I am definitely going to learn a lot.  I haven't really studied any talmud since middle school, but it's okay because the class is for beginners.  In between classes I had 4 hours, so I went to the gym for a while, ate lunch, bought the books I need for my classes, and sat around and talked with friends.  Soon I will have plenty of homework to keep me occupied during those free blocks!!  I was exhausted from the gym, so after I got home from Hebrew U, I went out to dinner at Holy Bagel with my friend Keren, and went to the grocery store to buy some essentials: peanut butter, jelly, pomegranate juice, an orange for my lunch tomorrow, and this apple-lime flavored seltzer stuff that I like.  Today I also downloaded a widget for my desktop that tells me how many days until my mom and sister come to Israel: 79!

That's all for now!
